Job Description

Many of the world’s leading investors – from individuals to institutions across the globe – have entrusted us with approximately $280 billion in assets and rely on us to provide world-class investment solutions and advice.

At Lazard Asset Management, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of complex financial markets, uncovering the best investment opportunities to deliver long-term value for our clients.

We are looking for an Internal Sales Desk Manager to lead our Field Sales internal wholesaler desk based in New York.

You will coach and develop a team of early-career sales professionals from Internal to Hybrid and, ultimately, External Wholesaler roles. We are looking for an organized, respected leader and coach who can assess capability quickly, give actionable real-time feedback, and translate sales strategy into disciplined daily execution on the desk.

We’ll trust you to:

  • Lead and coach the internal desk: Manage the daily operations, activity standards, and performance culture of the internal sales team to drive asset growth and qualified appointment setting for external partners.
  • Assess and develop desk talent: Rapidly evaluate each individual’s sales capability, product knowledge, and commercial judgment; build targeted development plans with measurable expectations; accelerate high potentials and address performance gaps promptly and directly.
  • Own onboarding for the desk: Deliver structured onboarding for new internal sales hires covering the firm, our products, systems, sales process, and client segments, so new joiners reach productivity quickly.
  • Build desk-level skills: Run focused skill-building on the capabilities the desk needs day to day — product mastery, consultative selling, discovery, prospecting and cold calling, objection handling, and partnership with the external wholesaler.
  • Coach in real time: Listen in on live calls and pipeline work and give immediate, practical feedback on client conversations, product positioning, and follow-up discipline.
  • Manage career progression: Execute a structured framework with clear, communicated advancement criteria that prepares internal wholesalers for Hybrid roles (combining virtual and targeted physical coverage) and eventual External territory ownership.
  • Oversee licensing and technical competency: Manage the desk’s licensing path (SIE, Series 7, 63/65) and ongoing product training for new and tenured team members.
  • Partner on distribution strategy: Work with Sales Leadership to implement business priorities, identify territory coverage gaps, and leverage CRM data to prioritize market opportunities based on revenue potential.
  • Run a disciplined operating rhythm: Lead team meetings, pipeline reviews, and one-on-ones, and use CRM, sales analytics, and AI-enabled tools to track desk KPIs, surface coaching needs, and measure individual progress.
  • Uphold firm standards: Ensure sales activity and client interactions are documented appropriately and conducted in line with firm policies, compliance requirements, and approved messaging.

You’ll need to have:

  • Industry experience: Minimum of 10 years in asset management retail distribution, including ownership of an external territory (ideally across channels and geographies).
  • Leadership track record: Minimum of 5 years leading and developing field sales talent, specifically internals and hybrids, with a record of progressing junior sales professionals into senior production roles within a structured retail sales environment.
  • Talent development: Demonstrated ability to identify, assess, and develop early-career sales talent, and to deliver timely, direct, and constructive feedback that changes behavior.
  • Channel expertise: Deep technical knowledge of the Wirehouse, IBD, and RIA landscapes, including platform dynamics and advisor workflows.
  • Advanced sales skills: Mastery of consultative selling, discovery-based prospecting, and high-impact cold calling, with the ability to translate these into practical coaching and training for internal sales professionals.
  • Analytical proficiency: Experience using CRM (Salesforce) and sales analytics to drive territory planning, measure desk KPIs, and manage team and individual performance through a metricized, accountable approach; familiarity with AI-enabled workflow or coaching tools.
  • Collaboration and judgment: Ability to work effectively with senior leaders, external wholesalers, Product, Marketing, National Accounts, and Compliance, with professional integrity and an authentic, respectful leadership style.
  • Required licensing: Active Series 7 and 63/65 (or 66); Series 24 (Principal) preferred, or must be obtained within a specified timeframe.
  • Education and product background: Bachelor’s degree preferred; experience with investment management, retirement, insurance, or other financial services products is a plus.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
