• Are you looking for your next role to empower you to collaborate with your firm and build a fantastic recruiting experience?

• Is working for a globally recognizable financial services brand that focuses on doing the right thing for their clients important to you?

The Greater LA Financial Group is currently searching for a Business Development Manager who will support the recruiting efforts of both experienced, in-demand financial advisor talent with successful practices, as well as inexperienced & new-to-industry advisor talent.  If you’ve recruited experienced or inexperienced financial advisors before, this role may be slightly different – you’ll be asked to build and execute a recruiting strategy in partnership with firm leadership that delivers on our growth and realized revenue objectives.  Ultimately, you will need to have the know-how to source, educate, and deliver high-performing talent to the firm, confirming for candidates that Prudential Advisors is the best place to grow or build their practice.

How you’ll contribute to our team:

• Be a knowledgeable consultant and partner to the Greater LA Financial Group leadership team: Collaboration is the way we get things done here. You’ll be encouraged to share your past experiences and advise on how we can do things differently for greater impact.
• Source and qualify high-performing Financial Advisor talent: Developing leads and contacting prospective advisors to determine alignment of their current business within Prudential Advisors strategies, goals, and compliance processes.
• Have a sales and marketing mindset to your recruiting activities: Through multiple channels and partnering with marketing, articulate our value proposition in a manner that convinces high-performing, passive financial advisor talent to join our firm.
• Turn insights into actions, and actions into great recruiting results. (Rinse and repeat): Acquiring advanced knowledge of local competitor firms and using that market intelligence to build a network of talent and robust pipelines within the assigned market.

What we’re looking for in a successful candidate:

• Minimum of 5+ years’ experience in the Financial Services industry with recruiting financial advisors with successful practices.
• College degree preferred or equivalent work experience.
• Familiarity with a “marketer’s mindset” - understands prospect online behaviors, selection methods and techniques such as using social media and other marketing channels for attraction.
• Ability to manage a high-volume goal driven environment, sometimes with conflicting priorities.
• Strong relationship building, partnering, interpersonal and collaborative skills.
• Securities licensing preferred but not required.
• Ability to travel (25%)

What We Offer You:

• Market competitive variable compensation which includes a base salary
• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, Paid Time Off (PTO), and leave of absences, such as parental and military leave
• Retirement plans:
• 401(k) plan with company match (up to 4%)
• Company-funded pension plan
• Wellness Programs to help you achieve your wellbeing goals, including up to $1,600 a year for reimbursement of items purchased to support personal wellbeing needs
• Work/Life Resources to help support topics such as parenting, housing, senior care, finances, pets, legal matters, education, emotional and mental health, and career development.
• Tuition Assistance to help finance traditional college enrollment toward obtaining an approved degree, many accredited certificate programs, and industry designations.
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan: Shares can be purchased at 85% of the lower of two prices (Beginning or End of the purchase period), after one year of service.
