Director, Alternative Investment Specialist

Description:

At Larson Capital Management LLC , we are seeking a Director, Alternative Investment Specialist to serve as LCM's embedded product expert and authoritative voice on alternative investment strategies across the firm's internal wealth advisor network. This is a high-visibility, relationship-driven role centered on enabling LCM's advisors to confidently understand, position, and recommend LCM's investment offerings to their clients.

The Director partners directly with advisor teams sitting in on client meetings, leading educational sessions, and translating complex fund structures and investment strategies into clear, compelling narratives for both advisor and client audiences. While the primary mandate is advisor enablement, success in this role is ultimately measured by capital outcomes: deeper advisor engagement, increased product adoption, and higher allocation volume across LCM's growing suite of alternative investment offerings.

LCM's current product focus is private real estate, with active expansion into hedge funds and near-term plans to grow into private equity and venture capital. The ideal candidate brings deep private real estate expertise as a foundation, with the intellectual range and curiosity to grow alongside LCM's expanding alternatives platform.

Why This Role Matters

LCM's internal advisor network represents one of the firm's most significant and strategically important sources of capital.
