Flourish was founded in 2017 with the goal of helping financial advisors to better secure the financial futures of their clients. We focus on independent Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs), delivering financial products that advisors can’t easily access today through beautiful, scalable, and easy-to-use technology.

Today, we work with over 700 RIAs that collectively represent more than $1.5T in assets under management across three products: Flourish Annuities, Flourish Cash, and Flourish Crypto. 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 small, highly collaborative, rapidly growing startup—backed by the support and stability of a Fortune 500 company.

About You

You have a passion for finance, technology and sales. You are a skilled communicator, both verbally and in writing, and you enjoy explaining complex topics in a concise, clear and engaging manner. You are highly self-motivated and enjoy working in a collaborative team environment.

You are excited to join a fast-paced, financial technology startup, and are motivated by the prospect of contributing to our sales efforts—whether through direct client interactions or by contributing to our sales operations, technology, onboarding or support. You always take the initiative, have an execution-oriented mindset, and you are comfortable managing multiple concurrent workstreams.

About the Role

As an early member of our business development team, you will play an integral role on our sales team by contributing to all facets of our sales efforts. Your core responsibility will be helping to source and schedule meetings for the business development team, whether through qualifying inbound leads, managing conferences, events and lead lists, or generating new leads from outbound efforts, oftentimes working independently while managing multiple initiatives. We will count on you to research untapped markets, identify potential relationships and share newly found industry knowledge with the team. As an external facing member of the team, sharp writing skills and the ability to think on your feet are vital.

However, success in this role will stretch beyond direct sales efforts: you may contribute to our overall sales efforts by helping with conferences and events, digging into metrics and reporting, assisting in onboarding of new clients and overall customer success, managing our CRM and sales technology and more.

Responsibilities

  • Manage leads across multiple channels, including inbounds, marketing-generated leads and conferences/events
  • Schedule meetings for the Business Development Team and qualify sales opportunities
  • Research new markets and identify new clients
  • Manage new lead sources, including list creation and management
  • Drive lead creation through outbound sales outreach—both email and over the phone
  • Help with conferences and events, including logistics, set-up and follow-up
  • Assist with customer success, including helping to onboard and follow-up with new firms
  • Contribute to CRM, sales technology, reporting, and team operations

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree
  • 3+ years of related experience
  • Either have a Series 7 or are willing to obtain one within the first 90 days of employment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Financial services background or true personal expertise with finance
  • Technology company background or native comfort with technology
  • Strong written and verbal communications
  • Ability to work independently as part of a fast moving team with minimal guidance
  • Capable of handling broad scope projects
  • Ability to problem solve, shift priorities quickly, and independently manage multiple workstreams

At Flourish, we focus on ensuring fair, equitable pay by providing competitive salaries, along with bonus and incentive opportunities and benefits for all employees.

Base Salary Range: $67,500 - $105,000 plus bonus

Disclosures:

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status.

An Insider's view of Flourish

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

We are passionate about what we do, but we know how to turn-off at the end of the day. Having flexibility allows me to get my work done and pursue my career goals, while still prioritizing my personal needs. Join Flourish to work hard, build great relationships, learn, and be recognized for interests and achievements both in and out of the office.

Kristen

Risk, Audit & Controls Lead

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

We participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, testing sessions, and use tools to share test data, bug reports, test cases, and scripts with the rest of the team. We're in constant communication with the larger team to better understand the gap between what we're trying to do as a business and the value that we deliver to our customers.

Carlos

QA Lead

What makes someone successful on your team?

As engineers we think primarily in code, but being able to connect that code to the larger context and use it to guide our work makes us successful and impactful as individuals and also outperform as a team. Flourish engineers have a strong influence and critical role in creating the technology that will continue to push the business forward.

Andrew

VP, Engineering

What is your vision for the company?

We’ve built Flourish to quickly launch compliant fintech businesses. We will continue to help independent RIAs grow, serve their clients with innovative and valuable products, and compete with wirehouses and private banks. We are humble, hardworking and innovative — just like our clients.

Josh

CTO

What's something quirky about your company?

Flourishers are Foodies! All shapes and forms of food are on the Flourish table. And while gastronomy brings Flourish-folk together, it also provides for fun debate within the office. A canonical question to new recruits is “do you enjoy pineapple on pizza?” There is a ton of passion from either side!
