Senior Manager, Revenue Operations (Compensation & Deal Desk)

Wealth management is a $545 billion industry in the US, yet remains archaic and inefficient with low technology penetration. 75% of financial advisors don’t offer digital communication beyond email, and 62% still build financial plans manually in Excel. This leads to a poor client experience and results in financial advisors spending over 70% of their time on non-client facing, manual work.

Savvy is changing that. We’re building the most advisor-centric platform in wealth management: a digital-first solution that modernizes human financial advice. Advisors who partner with Savvy tap into AI-powered software, automated sales and marketing, and seamless back office workflows to scale faster and spend more time with clients.

We’ve raised over $105M to date from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, Canvas Ventures, Mark Casady (former LPL Financial CEO), and other top-tier investors. Our team is made up of repeat founders and operators who’ve helped build Airbnb, Square, Brex, Carta, Facebook, $200B+ RIAs, and more.

Savvy is at a pivotal point in its growth trajectory, having established strong product-market fit in providing a modern platform to financial advisors. We’ve surpassed $2.2 billion in AUM in less than three years, grown 600%+ in the last 18 months, and are entering the next phase of the company which involves rapid expansion of our product offering and continued revenue growth. Come help us scale!

This is a role that sits at the heart of Savvy’s revenue engine. You will own the systems, workflows, and calculations that determine how our sales team is paid, how advisor deals are structured and contracted, and how payouts are calculated and delivered accurately, on time, and at scale.

In this role you will design systems that translate complex commercial agreements into structured, auditable data , build calculators to empower our sellers, and streamline our contracting motion so deals move quickly without sacrificing margin or compliance. You will partner with Growth Leadership, Finance, and Legal to design a scalable commercial operating model that will help Savvy scale from 100+ advisors to 1,000+ advisors.

The bar is high. You should have a zero-defect mindset and get excited about solving for all edge cases. You should have exceptional organization and the analytical horsepower to design robust spreadsheets and tools. Your work will be felt by every sales team member and will be critical to helping Savvy scale.
