• Drive the successful launch and market penetration of new investment products across the region.
• Serve as a regional voice for product development feedback and advisor education needs.
• Travel as needed to engage with clients and prospects in person.

What We’re Looking For

• 15+ years of client-facing experience in alternative investments (distribution, capital raising, or product specialist roles).
• Strong grasp of complex private investment strategies including private equity, private credit, real estate, and hedge funds.
• Proven success managing high-performing sales professionals and cultivating advisor relationships.
• Experience navigating a high-growth, performance-driven, and collaborative sales environment.
• FINRA Series 7 and 63 required (or willingness to obtain shortly after hire).
• CAIA designation or willingness to pursue.

The Platform

This opportunity is with a highly regarded fintech organization known for transforming how the wealth management ecosystem accesses institutional-grade alternatives. The firm supports a wide range of advisors and institutions with a digital-first approach to fund access, analytics, and operations.
