The posting
Investor Relations Associate (Private Market Sales)
Join the team rewriting the rules in private markets.
Moonfare delivers what few others can: the highly sought-after funds and hidden-gem investments that go beyond what most private banks offer. Every opportunity is subjected to a ruthless vetting process; the bar is unforgivingly high. The result? Institutional-quality portfolios for investors who demand more.
Our team combines finance veterans with talent from tech, consulting, law and industries you’d never expect. Headquartered in Berlin, we operate from eight offices across Europe, the US and Asia.
If you're ready to build what's next in private markets, let's talk.
About the role
Moonfare is experiencing exceptional growth in the North American market. This is a salaried position with a performance bonus, not commission-only, and no existing book is required. You'll work off an existing book and a pipeline of qualified leads, and help build Moonfare's U.S. client base from an early stage. You'll join a small, fast-growing U.S. desk in New York, reporting directly to the Head of U.S. Private Clients.
You will:
- Convert qualified leads into active investors by understanding their needs, articulating Moonfare's value proposition, and guiding them through the investment journey.
- Own and grow a book of U.S. high-net-worth individuals and family offices, with a focus on long-term, high-quality relationships.
- Generate new opportunities through planned outreach campaigns, your own network, and referrals.
- Take a hands-on approach to portfolio oversight and performance discussions, offering data-driven insights tailored to investor goals, and prepare the presentations, portfolio summaries, and communications that deepen trust and reinforce Moonfare's value proposition.
- Confidently manage complex client questions, concerns, and objections - always aiming to deliver clarity and value.
- Collaborate closely with internal teams such as Product, Marketing, Compliance, and Investments to ensure a seamless and coordinated investor experience, and bring a critical eye to internal processes to enhance efficiency and the client experience.
The next Moonfarian:
- You have a minimum of 2 years in a client-facing role, ideally in financial services, private banking, private equity, or wealth management.
- You hold active FINRA Series 7 & 63 licenses (65/66 a plus).
- You are target-driven, and motivated by building something rather than inheriting it.
- You have a confident, professional communication style and the ability to engage sophisticated investors.
- You apply a structured and organized approach to work, with strong attention to detail.
- You are a team player with a global mindset and enjoy working across cultures and time zones.
If you feel you do not meet all of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply!
