BOSTON, REARCH TRIANGLE PARK — Business is booming for Boston-based Fidelity Investments, and it’s now on a hiring spree to keep up with demand.
That’s only good news for its campus in RTP, with “hundreds of jobs” now in the offing, a Fidelity spokesperson told WRAL TechWire today.
“The number for the Triangle are projected at just under 250,” she said.
In total, Fidelity is seeking to boost its workforce by 15 percent this year. That’s around 4,000 new “client-facing” positions across its US locations over the next six months. Positions include financial advisors, licensed representatives, and customer service representatives. Half of these positions are expected to be filled by year-end.
Fidelity operates a large campus in the Triangle with more than 3,000 employees.
Recent market volatility and an increasingly complex economic environment has driven “millions of new and existing customers” to open accounts, increase trading activity and contribute additional savings, resulting in an overall need for increased financial support and guidance, the company said per its release.
“We continue to see very strong growth, both in new accounts to Fidelity as well as deeper engagement from our existing client base,” added Kathleen Murphy, Fidelity’s president of personal investing, in a statement “As part of our steadfast mission to serve our clients, we continue to expand our number of associates and invest in the long-term development of our people so that we’re well positioned to deliver the best customer experience possible – both now and in the future.”
