Job description

The new venture is revolutionizing how financial advisors process information to deliver proactive, personalized guidance at scale. Targeting small to mid-sized wealth management firms, our solution enables advisors to deliver better client experiences, boost retention, and accelerate AUM.

Wealth management is approaching a critical inflection point with $70T intergenerational wealth transfer underway and a projected shortage of 100,000 advisors by 2034.

As Founding CEO, you will:

• Lead the roadmap - Own customer discovery, refine the wedge, and translate insights into a focused GTM plan
• Build the product - Work with FutureSight's product/engineering pod to launch V1
• Win customers - Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention expansion
• Raise capital - Lead the seed raise with our support, backed by real traction
• Build your team - Hire your founding team and set the cultural foundation
