Skills and Attributes: The attorney successfully filling this role should demonstrate:
* An understanding of the investment management industry in general and Hartford Funds' business model and objectives in particular.

Showing up for people isn't just what we do. It's who we are - and have been for more than 200 years. We're devoted to finding innovative ways to serve our customers, communities and employees-continually asking ourselves what more we can do.
Is our policy language as simple and inclusive as it can be? Can we better help businesses navigate our ever-changing world? What else can we do to destigmatize mental health in the workplace? Can we make our communities more equitable?
That we can rise to the challenge of these questions is due in no small part to our company values that our employees have shaped and defined.
And while how we contribute looks different for each of us, it's these values that drive all of us to do more and to do better every day.

Every day, a day to do right.
Showing up for people isn't just what we do. It's who we are - and have been for more than 200 years. We're devoted to finding innovative ways to serve our customers, communities and employees-continually asking ourselves what more we can do.
Is our policy language as simple and inclusive as it can be? Can we better help businesses navigate our ever-changing world? What else can we do to destigmatize mental health in the workplace? Can we make our communities more equitable?
That we can rise to the challenge of these questions is due in no small part to our company values that our employees have shaped and defined.
And while how we contribute looks different for each of us, it's these values that drive all of us to do more and to do better every day.
