Financial Advisor Recruiter & Business Development Manager

Job Description

About the Opportunity\n

\n

Supreme Alliance LLC is an established independent broker-dealer. We are entering our next phase of growth and are seeking a driven Financial Advisor Recruiter & Business Development Manager to help significantly expand our advisor network.

\n

\n

We are committed to continued growth while maintaining the personalized service, accessibility, flexibility, and relationships that distinguish a smaller independent broker-dealer. We are seeking someone who can build a strong, sustainable recruiting pipeline and consistently attract quality financial professionals who are a good fit for our firm.

\n

\n

This is not a traditional HR recruiting position. It is a sales-oriented business development role focused on identifying, engaging, building relationships with, and ultimately recruiting experienced financial advisors and registered representatives.

\n

\n

The ideal candidate is a proactive relationship builder who is comfortable prospecting, making outbound calls, developing long-term relationships, communicating a compelling value proposition, overcoming objections, and moving prospective advisors through a consultative recruiting process.

What You'll Do\n

\n

\n
• Develop and manage a nationwide pipeline of prospective financial advisors and registered representatives.
\n
• Proactively identify and contact experienced financial professionals through telephone outreach, email, LinkedIn, industry databases, referrals, networking, conferences, and other recruiting channels.
\n
• Conduct consistent outbound prospecting and follow-up with both warm and cold prospects.
\n
• Build relationships with advisors who may not currently be actively considering a broker-dealer change.
\n
• Conduct initial discovery conversations to understand each advisor's current business, product mix, production, goals, concerns, and reasons they may consider changing firms.
\n
• Educate prospective representatives about Supreme Alliance's value proposition, including our independent structure, product access, personalized service, compliance support, technology, payout structure, operational support, and transition process.
\n
• Identify the needs and priorities that matter most to each prospective advisor and position the firm's resources accordingly.
\n
• Address common objections and concerns regarding broker-dealer transitions.
\n
• Qualify prospective advisors to ensure their business models, experience, production, and regulatory histories align with the firm's standards.
\n
• Coordinate qualified prospective advisors with executive management, compliance, operations, and other members of the firm as appropriate.
\n
• Manage prospective advisors throughout the full recruiting cycle—from initial outreach and discovery through due diligence, decision, affiliation, and transition.
\n
• Maintain consistent follow-up with long-term prospects who may require months or longer before making a transition decision.
\n
• Develop referral opportunities through existing representatives, centers of influence, wholesalers, product sponsors, and other financial-services professionals.
\n
• Maintain accurate recruiting activity, prospect notes, pipeline stages, next steps, and expected affiliation dates within the firm's CRM.
\n
• Work with management and marketing to improve advisor recruiting campaigns, digital outreach, recruiting materials, landing pages, email campaigns, events, and other lead-generation initiatives.
\n
• Monitor competing broker-dealers and industry trends to help strengthen the firm's recruiting strategy and advisor value proposition.
\n
• Provide management with regular reports on prospecting activity, qualified opportunities, recruiting pipeline, expected affiliations, completed affiliations, and recruiting results.

Why Join Supreme Alliance LLC?\n

\n

At a smaller independent broker-dealer, advisor relationships matter.

The person in this role will have the opportunity to work directly with senior leadership and play a meaningful role in shaping the future growth of the firm.

\n

\n

Rather than stepping into a mature recruiting department with a narrowly defined territory, you will have the opportunity to help build and improve the firm's recruiting strategy, develop new relationships nationwide, and directly see the impact of the advisors you bring to the organization.

\n

\n

If you are a motivated financial-services professional who enjoys prospecting, relationship building, business development, and helping financial advisors find a firm that better fits their businesses, we would like to hear from you.
