Job description
About Matis Matis is reinventing how investors access the world’s most iconic art. Through our club deal model, we co-invest in major works of 20th and 21st century masters — from Warhol and Picasso to Basquiat, Klein, and Kusama — and offer fractional access starting at $25,000 via convertible bonds. Each work is selected by our team of specialists and resold through partner galleries to qualified collectors at fair market value. Founded in 2023 and approved by the AMF, Matis has quickly become one of Europe’s fastest-growing alternative investment platforms, with hundreds of millions deployed across blue-chip artworks. We are now expanding into the United States, the largest art market in the world, and are building the founding US commercial team.
The Role As Partnerships Manager, US, you will be a key member of our founding US team, reporting directly to the Head of US. Your mission is to build and scale Matis’ distribution network on the ground — sourcing, signing, and activating the partners who introduce Matis to qualified investors across the country. This is a true B2B2C role: you will sell into wealth managers, RIAs, multi-family offices, private bankers, art advisors, and galleries (the B2B layer), and equip them to deliver Matis to their HNW and UHNW clients (the C). You’ll own the full partnership lifecycle — from prospecting to onboarding to ongoing enablement — and partner closely with marketing, investor relations, and our Paris HQ. The role is based in New York with regular travel across major US wealth hubs (Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, Aspen, the Hamptons). Who You Are
- 3–5 years of experience in B2B2C sales, partnerships, or business development — ideally in wealth management, alternative investments, fintech, wealthtech, private banking, or luxury.
- Proven track record of sourcing, closing, and growing partner relationships with measurable revenue impact.
- Strong existing network among RIAs, family offices, private bankers, art advisors, or HNW-facing professionals is a significant plus.
- Excellent communicator and natural relationship-builder; equally comfortable in a 1:1 office meeting, on a stage, or at a gallery dinner.
- Entrepreneurial, hands-on, and energized by the ambiguity of building from zero to one.
- Genuine passion for — or strong curiosity about — art, alternative assets, and the world of collecting.
- Series 7 / 63 (or willingness to obtain) is a plus, not required.
- Bachelor’s degree required; based in or willing to relocate to New York.
What You’ll Do Build the distribution network
- Identify, prospect, and sign strategic partners across wealth management, family offices, private banking, art advisory, and the gallery ecosystem.
- Own a target list of 200+ priority accounts; develop a tiered outreach strategy that consistently generates qualified meetings.
- Negotiate and close partnership agreements in collaboration with the Head of US and Legal.
Activate and grow partner accounts
- Onboard new partners with tailored training on Matis’ model, art selection process, and investor experience.
- Co-host events, gallery visits, and private viewings to drive partner-led investor acquisition.
- Track partner performance against shared KPIs (introductions, AUM raised, retention) and run quarterly business reviews.
Represent Matis in the field
- Be a credible, articulate ambassador for Matis at art fairs, wealth conferences, and partner events (Frieze, Art Basel Miami, Future Proof, Barron’s, etc.).
- Surface market insights, partner feedback, and competitive intelligence to shape the US go-to-market strategy.
Operate like a founder
- Help define the US commercial playbook — from messaging and pitch materials to partner segmentation and incentive structures.
- Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Investor Relations, Compliance, and the Paris HQ to remove blockers and accelerate growth.
