About Nova 401(k) Associates
Nova 401(k) Associates is a Houston third-party administrator that designs and runs qualified retirement plans (401(k), 403(b), 457(b), cash balance and defined benefit) and counts more than 10,000 plans with over $14B in assets on its books. Its sellers work the intermediary channel rather than calling employers directly: each sales consultant is a regional wholesaler who finds financial advisors and investment professionals in an assigned region, courts record-keepers, joins advisors at point-of-sale presentations to plan sponsors, and keeps key producers active through visits, seminars and webinars. Six of the 13 sales-titled openings are those consultant seats, one each for Arizona, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, Minnesota and Nashville, and the postings favour candidates with internal or external wholesaling behind them. The other seven are account managers who keep plans and their advisors retained: four fully remote defined contribution managers (one senior, one on multiple employer plans and one for AMP, its venture with AFS for pooled employer and group 402(a) plans), a remote implementation manager who onboards new plans, and two entry-level associates starting in Houston in January 2027 who handle 401(k) questions by phone. All 13 are in the US.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
