We are seeking a Lost Assets Specialist to bridge the gap between initial sales and successful recovery. This is a "Closer-Investigator" role designed for a tenacious individual who excels at the "Second-Wave" engagement strategy. You will take the relay from the initial sales team to find "ghosted" claimants and guide them to the finish line.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Forensic Research & Skip Tracing (30% of Role)
● Digital Sleuthing: Utilize verified databases (the same ones used by law enforcement) and "light" skip tracing to find updated contact info for claimants who have gone silent.
● OSINT Intelligence: Conduct deep-dive research into social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.) to identify claimant patterns and alternative contact methods.
● Genealogical Verification: Work alongside our genealogists to confirm heirship and identity using public records and probate data.
2. Collaborative "Tag-Team" Outreach
● The Relay: Act as the fresh voice for the division. When a lead goes cold for a colleague, you "invert" the lead by applying a new angle, addressing previous objections, and re-establishing trust.
● Documentation: Maintain rigorous due diligence and call notes in our CRM to ensure a seamless "hand-off" experience for the claimant.
3. Strategic Closing (70% of Role)
● The Inversion: Once contact is re-established, you pivot from researcher to closer. You will guide claimants through complex documentation and legal forms to finalize the recovery of their assets.
● Advocacy: Communicate Lauth’s "No Upfront Fee" promise and ethical standards to build rapport and lower resistance.
Requirements
- Active certification in Genealogy or Skip Tracing is highly preferred.
- Experience in sales, collections, or high-touch client relations.
- Highest level of ethical, moral, and professional standards.
- Proficiency in CRM management and investigative software.
Benefits
● Security & Growth: A stable base salary to support your research hours, plus commissions on every deal you close.
● No Bureaucracy: Work in a creative, talent-focused environment where your ideas for re-engaging claimants are heard.
● Purpose-Driven Work: Every "win" is a direct benefit to a family or heir who was previously "left in the dark."
