What You’ll Do

About the Opportunity

Supreme Alliance LLC is an established independent broker-dealer. We are entering our next phase of growth and are seeking a driven Financial Advisor Recruiter & Business Development Manager to help significantly expand our advisor network.

We are committed to continued growth while maintaining the personalized service, accessibility, flexibility, and relationships that distinguish a smaller independent broker-dealer. We are seeking someone who can build a strong, sustainable recruiting pipeline and consistently attract quality financial professionals who are a good fit for our firm.

This is not a traditional HR recruiting position. It is a sales-oriented business development role focused on identifying, engaging, building relationships with, and ultimately recruiting experienced financial advisors and registered representatives.

The ideal candidate is a proactive relationship builder who is comfortable prospecting, making outbound calls, developing long-term relationships, communicating a compelling value proposition, overcoming objections, and moving prospective advisors through a consultative recruiting process.

• Develop and manage a nationwide pipeline of prospective financial advisors and registered representatives.
• Proactively identify and contact experienced financial professionals through telephone outreach, email, LinkedIn, industry databases, referrals, networking, conferences, and other recruiting channels.
• Conduct consistent outbound prospecting and follow-up with both warm and cold prospects.
• Build relationships with advisors who may not currently be actively considering a broker-dealer change.
• Conduct initial discovery conversations to understand each advisor's current business, product mix, production, goals, concerns, and reasons they may consider changing firms.
• Educate prospective representatives about Supreme Alliance's value proposition, including our independent structure, product access, personalized service, compliance support, technology, payout structure, operational support, and transition process.
• Identify the needs and priorities that matter most to each prospective advisor and position the firm's resources accordingly.
• Address common objections and concerns regarding broker-dealer transitions.
• Qualify prospective advisors to ensure their business models, experience, production, and regulatory histories align with the firm's standards.
• Coordinate qualified prospective advisors with executive management, compliance, operations, and other members of the firm as appropriate.
• Manage prospective advisors throughout the full recruiting cycle—from initial outreach and discovery through due diligence, decision, affiliation, and transition.
• Maintain consistent follow-up with long-term prospects who may require months or longer before making a transition decision.
• Develop referral opportunities through existing representatives, centers of influence, wholesalers, product sponsors, and other financial-services professionals.
• Maintain accurate recruiting activity, prospect notes, pipeline stages, next steps, and expected affiliation dates within the firm's CRM.
• Work with management and marketing to improve advisor recruiting campaigns, digital outreach, recruiting materials, landing pages, email campaigns, events, and other lead-generation initiatives.
• Monitor competing broker-dealers and industry trends to help strengthen the firm's recruiting strategy and advisor value proposition.
• Provide management with regular reports on prospecting activity, qualified opportunities, recruiting pipeline, expected affiliations, completed affiliations, and recruiting results.

What Success Looks Like

This position will be responsible for building and maintaining a robust, sustainable recruiting pipeline that produces consistent growth in the firm's advisor network.

Performance will be evaluated based on both activity and results, including:

• Qualified advisor conversations
• Discovery meetings
• New recruiting opportunities added to the pipeline
• Active due-diligence prospects
• Completed advisor affiliations
• Quality and production of recruited advisors
• Retention of recruited representativesOverall growth of the firm's advisor network

While recruiting cycles vary considerably, the successful candidate should be capable of maintaining multiple active recruiting opportunities at different stages of the process while consistently generating new prospective-advisor relationships.

There is no predetermined limit on the firm's growth objectives. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to build upon strong results and earn additional incentive compensation as recruiting performance increases.

Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in financial services and a demonstrated ability to generate new business through proactive relationship development.

• Financial advisor recruiting

• Mutual fund, annuity, insurance, or asset-management wholesaling
• Financial-services sales
• Custodial or advisor-platform business development
• Strong understanding of the independent financial-advisor and broker-dealer marketplace.
• Demonstrated ability to prospect for and develop new business rather than relying solely on inbound leads.
• Experience conducting high-volume telephone and electronic outreach.
• Strong relationship-building and consultative-sales skills.
• Ability to communicate effectively with experienced financial advisors, registered representatives, and business owners.
• Comfortable discussing advisor economics, broker-dealer relationships, payouts, product platforms, technology, compliance support, operational support, and transition considerations.
• Strong objection-handling, negotiation, and closing skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage a large pipeline of prospects at different stages of the recruiting process.

Base Salary: $65,000–$80,000 annually, depending on experience, financial-services knowledge, existing industry relationships, and demonstrated recruiting or business-development success.

Expected Total Compensation: Approximately $110,000–$150,000+ annually for successful performance against recruiting goals.

Incentive compensation will reward successful advisor affiliations and increase as recruiting results increase.

Exceptional performance may result in total compensation significantly above the stated range.

Incentive Opportunity

The recruiting incentive program is designed to reward both advisor growth and quality.

Additional incentive opportunities may be available for recruiting established producers, advisor teams, or other strategically valuable relationships.

There is no cap on incentive compensation.

Why Join Supreme Alliance LLC?

At a smaller independent broker-dealer, advisor relationships matter.

Our representatives receive the personal attention, accessibility, flexibility, and support that can be difficult to find at much larger organizations. The person in this role will have the opportunity to work directly with senior leadership and play a meaningful role in shaping the future growth of the firm.

Rather than stepping into a mature recruiting department with a narrowly defined territory, you will have the opportunity to help build and improve the firm's recruiting strategy, develop new relationships nationwide, and directly see the impact of the advisors you bring to the organization.

If you are a motivated financial-services professional who enjoys prospecting, relationship building, business development, and helping financial advisors find a firm that better fits their businesses, we would like to hear from you.
