Leveraging a consultative, relationship-driven approach, you will position comprehensive back- and middle-office solutions to CFOs, COOs, and fund principals while expanding a nationwide network of key industry intermediaries.

Key Responsibilities

Commercial Execution & Quota Attainment: Drive new business revenue by managing the complete sales lifecycle—from initial market mapping and pitching to pricing negotiations, RFP responses, and contract execution.

Intermediary & Ecosystem Networking: Cultivate high-value referral channels across fund formation attorneys, audit partners, prime brokers, allocators, and industry consultants.

Cross-Functional Transition: Partner closely with onboarding, operations, and client service teams to ensure seamless mandate transitions and establish long-term client retention.
