ETF Growth Lead

ETF Growth Lead

Remote

Hill Investment Group and Longview Research Partners are redefining how advisors and investors implement evidence-based investing through a differentiated ETF platform built for long-term success. Headquartered in St. Louis, with team members located across the country, the firm combines deep investment expertise with a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture focused on helping advisors make better portfolio decisions.

We are seeking an ETF Growth Lead to play a pivotal role in expanding the firm's ETF platform by building relationships with sophisticated financial advisors, RIAs, family offices, and wealth management firms. This is a highly consultative business development opportunity for someone who thrives on creating new opportunities, educating advisors on portfolio implementation, and driving long-term asset growth.

Unlike a traditional wholesaling position, this role is focused on building the business from the ground up. The ETF Growth Lead will partner closely with firm leadership and portfolio management to develop meaningful advisor relationships, contribute to thought leadership, and help establish Longview as a leading boutique ETF provider.

This is a full-time position with a preference for candidates located in St. Louis, MO, though remote candidates will be considered for the right individual. Primary Responsibilities
