  • Build outbound prospecting motion targeting active traders at competitor platforms
  • Identify and convert introducing broker, API partner, and affiliate relationships
  • Develop competitive positioning and sales materials to win against FOREX.com and OANDA
  • Lead and develop a team including Premium Client Manager, Business Development, and Client Acquisition associates
  • Implement sales playbooks, pipeline management, and performance accountability
  • Build team capability to independently handle client lifecycle from prospect to active trader
  • Hire and develop talent to scale acquisition capacity
  • Maximize application-to-funding conversion through systematic funnel analysis
  • Drive adoption of premium offerings (Prime, MT5, Zero+) among new and existing clients
  • Coordinate with tastytrade leadership on cross-sell opportunities and ecosystem integration
  • Execute 2-3 strategic business development initiatives per quarter with defined metrics

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree
  • 5+ years in financial services sales with proven track record of exceeding new business targets in forex, futures, or brokerage
  • Licensure: Series 3 and 34 (must be willing to obtain if not currently held)
  • Direct experience acquiring and closing high-value clients ($100k+ accounts) and/or institutional relationships
  • Demonstrated ability to build outbound sales motion—not just manage inbound leads

  • Experience managing sales teams with clear pipeline discipline and performance accountability
  • Relationship-building skills spanning retail traders, corporate clients, and strategic partners
  • Proficiency with MetaTrader platforms, TradingView, and CRM systems
