The opportunity

As a Relationship Manager at Altruist, you'll own growth, adoption, and retention for a portfolio of high-value RIA firms on our custodial platform.

You are the primary point of contact and strategic partner for firm leadership and key stakeholders helping them grow, compete, and succeed by fully leveraging Altruist across their books of business. You will bring the "best of Altruist" to your firms by orchestrating cross-functional resources and by proactively identifying opportunities to improve their efficiency, profitability, and client experience.

You'll combine deep RIA industry knowledge, consultative relationship skills, and disciplined account management to drive net new assets, expand share of wallet, and move Altruist up the buy/sell hierarchy within each firm. This role is ideal for someone who loves building long-term, high-trust relationships while being directly accountable for ambitious growth and retention targets.

Cross-Functional Orchestration & Advocacy

• Coordinate closely with Sales, Service and Product to proactively anticipate client needs and resolve issues as they arise.

Events, Education, and Thought Leadership

Operational Excellence & Discipline

• Maintain accurate and complete records of engagements, opportunities, account plans, and forecasts in Salesforce to ensure clear visibility and predictability for leadership.

• Demonstrate coachability and a growth mindset by actively seeking, absorbing, and applying feedback from revenue and relationship management leadership.
• Travel as needed to meet with key firms, attend events, and deepen strategic relationships (estimated up to ~25–40%, depending on territory needs).

• 5+ years of experience in:
• Relationship management or sales at a B2B financial services, custodial, or advisor-focused fintech organization, or
