YCharts builds investment research and proposal-generation software for financial advisors, asset managers, and institutional investors.

Hiring is sales-led (4 open roles) with simultaneous pushes on legal frameworks, data products, and strategic partnerships — a pattern typical of companies scaling from SMB into enterprise while managing regulatory complexity in financial services.
