Job Description

Account Executive, Flourish

Full-Time, NYC

The Opportunity

With a passion for sales, finance and technology, you are looking to join a collaborative sales team within a fast-paced startup environment. You are an extremely skilled communicator, both verbally and in writing, and your excellent people skills make you a natural relationship builder. You are organized and can manage multiple work streams in parallel while continuously prioritizing what’s most important. You are a high-output, self-motivated self-starter, able to learn fast and execute while also thriving within a collaborative, team oriented environment.

You are excited to join an early stage financial technology startup, and are motivated by the prospect of joining our sales team. You will be able to seamlessly own and maintain existing relationships with existing Flourish clients, while also being ready to build new relationships with a growing client base of independent RIAs.

The Team

Since 2017, Flourish has been on a mission to help financial advisors evolve from holistic advice to holistic implementation to better serve their clients and grow their businesses. We focus on independent Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), delivering financial products that advisors can’t easily access today through beautiful, scalable, and easy-to-use technology.

Today, we work with over 1,100 RIAs that collectively represent more than $2.6T in assets under management across three products: Flourish Cash, Flourish Lending, and Flourish Annuities. Headquartered in New York City, we are an independently-operating, wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual Life Insurance Company.

Read on if you are interested in joining a dynamic, highly-collaborative, rapidly-growing startup—backed by the support and stability of a Fortune 500 company.

The Impact

As an Account Executive, you will play a key role on our sales team, working with RIAs to both grow adoption of our products within our existing client base and to bring new firms onto the platform. You’ll work independently to own and manage client conversations from end-to-end, including managing inbound leads and working independently to originate new business opportunities—whether through your own efforts or in partnership with our marketing organization or business development team.

You’ll partner across the organization to share client feedback, champion innovative business opportunities, and develop new strategies for growth while contributing to the overall sales efforts of Flourish.

Responsibilities:

• Own and manage client relationships from end-to-end, from sourcing to managing the sales process to client activation and adoption

• Exercise considerable judgment and analysis to arrive at recommendations and/or conclusions

The Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

• 4+ years of related experience

• Either have a Series 7 or willingness to get a Series 7 within 90 days of joining

The Ideal Qualifications
