Head of Growth

Hilltop Wealth Advisors is growing, and we’re seeking a senior leader to serve as our Head of Growth. This role is designed to own Hilltop’s growth engine end-to-end—both organic growth through advisor sales enablement and inorganic growth through merger and acquisition relationship development—as we scale toward a $1B+ multi-office RIA. This position is ideal for a high‑EQ, enterprise‑minded leader who thrives in building systems, developing people, and stewarding long‑term relationships. The role institutionalizes growth, so it is repeatable, teachable, and scalable, rather than founder‑ or advisor‑dependent. This role does not carry a permanent book of business. Success is measured by advisor growth capability, consistent organic results, disciplined M&A cultivation, execution, and cultural alignment. At Hilltop, we lead with our three core values: Humble Steward – We honor the responsibility entrusted to us, acting with integrity and humility. Hungry Learner – We pursue mastery through curiosity and continuous growth. Better Together – We succeed through collaboration, shared goals, and unified effort.
