Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs

XYPN is the only turnkey advice and planning platform that makes it possible for fee-only financial advisors to build the independent firm of their dreams with complete autonomy. We do this through ongoing advocacy and access to education and training, curated technology, compliance support, community, and back-office and client support services. This is an opportunity to join a company on a mission to help others—and you—live your best lives. XYPN is a leading voice for independent, fee-only financial planners, and advocates for modernized regulation that elevates fiduciary financial planning, separates sales from advice, protects investors, and reduces unnecessary burdens on small advisory firms. With a network of more than 2,200 fee-only financial planners and experience registering more than 2,000 investment advisers nationwide, we support firms across all 50 states and the SEC, giving us unique insight into the regulatory and operational challenges faced by independent RIAs operating across multiple jurisdictions. As XYPN’s Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs, you’ll translate that expertise into meaningful advocacy and regulatory influence. You’ll work closely with our Managing Director of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs to shape and execute XYPN’s advocacy roadmap, leading efforts to monitor State & federal regulatory developments, develop policy positions, build relationships with regulators, and advance strategic engagement on issues impacting members. You’ll drive engagement in relevant State and SEC rule-making, preparing comment letters on proposed regulation, representing XYPN in meetings and hearings, and developing and facilitating educational opportunities for both regulators and members. Through this work, you’ll help shape a regulatory environment that better supports fiduciary financial planning and independent advisory firms.
