Job description
RFG Advisory is an award-winning, fast-growing RIA platform for independent financial Advisors, and the Associate Director of Business Development is the front-line role that fills the pipeline that fuels that growth. You will own a defined book of outbound campaigns, channels, and target accounts within wealth management, running proactive outreach to source and qualify leads, and supporting the National Director on pull-through and closing activity. This is a relationship-driven, production-oriented role for someone who already has real experience in financial services business development and can see themselves growing toward a National Director seat.
This is a remote role. We are headquartered in Birmingham, AL. If a candidate resides in Birmingham, they can work a hybrid schedule.
- Run proactive, high-volume outbound prospecting and cold calling against a defined book of campaigns, channels, and target accounts within the wealth management space.
- Source and qualify a minimum of five qualified leads per month, through your own outbound effort or by working leads generated through RFG marketing.
- Use AssetLink and similar industry data platforms to research prospects, verify Advisor and firm details, and sharpen outreach targeting.
- Identify and pursue new channels and distribution opportunities that expand RFG's reach within broker-dealers, RIAs, and other wealth management segments.
- In coordination with the National Director, assist with pull-through activity on RFG-sourced deals, including scheduling demos, preparing follow-up materials, and keeping opportunities moving toward close.
- Serve as a reliable execution partner on active opportunities, ensuring no deal stalls for lack of follow-through or coordination.
- Build relationships with prospective Advisors that hold up through the full sales cycle, not just initial outreach.
- Maintain clean, accurate, and up-to-date records in HubSpot across your full book of outbound activity and pipeline.
- Come prepared to weekly 1:1 reviews with a clear read on what's working, what isn't, and what you're doing about it.
- Take ownership of your numbers rather than waiting to be asked; this role is measured by qualified leads generated, pull-through activity, and pipeline contribution.
- Work closely with marketing and RevOps in the creation, execution, and assessment of outreach initiatives and sales campaigns.
- Provide field intelligence from prospecting activity that improves targeting, messaging, and campaign performance over time.
- Leverage AI and automation tools to increase the efficiency, quality, and consistency of outreach and follow-up.
- Prior experience in outbound sales, business development, or a client-facing role within financial services; this is required and non-negotiable.
- Strong familiarity with broker-dealers, RIAs, and other distribution channels across the wealth management industry.
- A demonstrated track record with high-volume prospecting and cold calling.
- Proven ability to manage a full book of accounts and pipeline within a CRM; HubSpot experience is a plus.
- Experience working closely with marketing teams to facilitate and execute sales initiatives.
- Familiarity with AssetLink, Discovery Data, or comparable industry data platforms preferred.
- FINRA licensing (SIE, Series 7, Series 63/65/66) and other industry designations are a plus.
- Self-directed and comfortable owning a full book of business rather than working from a handed-down task list.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, particularly for Advisor-facing outreach, follow-up, and relationship development.
- Production-oriented mindset; measures success by pipeline contribution and qualified leads generated, not activity volume alone.
- Collaborative partner to marketing, RevOps, and the National Director without losing individual accountability for outcomes.
- Demonstrated interest in growing a long-term career in business development and relationship management within wealth management.
- Coachable and prepared; shows up to reviews with context, owns misses, and adjusts quickly.
- HubSpot CRM proficiency required or able to demonstrate rapid platform adoption.
- AssetLink or comparable industry data platform experience preferred.
- Proficiency with AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot to improve outreach quality, research efficiency, and workflow productivity.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Communications, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience.
