As part of its new technology jobs initiative, LPL Financial, a wholly owned subsidiary of LPL Financial Holdings Inc., created of 50 new technology-related positions based out of the company's Charlotte, N.C., corporate offices. The company plans to fill the majority of these positions by October this year and add up to a total of 100 new technology positions through 2013.

The new Charlotte-based positions available will include developers and project managers, as well as other IT roles.
