You will join a high-performing product support team within the DC Innovation product group, focused on strengthening fiduciary integrity and governance for pooled employer retirement solutions. The team balances risk management, quality control and fiduciary oversight with driving long-term scalability across multiple products-including Fidelity Advantage 401(k) and new PEPs in different markets.
