  • Own monthly and quarterly sales reporting, ensuring accurate, timely, and decision-useful insights for VPI and FAS Sales leadership.
  • Develop competitive intelligence on direct indexing, personalized indexing, SMA providers, sponsor platforms, and evolving industry trends; translate findings into clear implications for VPI's distribution strategy.
  • Create and maintain sales enablement resources, tools, and processes that equip FAS Sales teams to position VPI effectively across the RIA, Bank, and Broker/Dealer channels.
  • Exhibit deep investment acumen and serve as an expert on direct and personalized indexing, helping VPI refine its approach and methodology to meet market and partner needs.
  • Lead complex, cross-functional projects with a high degree of independence, accountability, attention to detail, and follow-through.
  • Identify and implement opportunities to leverage artificial intelligence, automation, and data to solve problems, streamline recurring work, and improve the scalability of VPI's sales strategy and enablement capabilities.
  • Support ad hoc analysis, investment due diligence, and strategic questions from internal stakeholders and prospective platform partners.
  • Participate in special projects and perform other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum of five years of related work experience.
  • High investment acumen, with the ability to understand and clearly communicate portfolio construction, tax management, indexing, and related investment concepts.
  • Strong project management skills, exceptional attention to detail, and a proven ability to coordinate complex, cross-functional work from planning through execution.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently, take full ownership of high-impact initiatives, and exercise sound judgment in ambiguous or evolving situations.
  • Proven track record of using artificial intelligence, automation, or other technology-enabled approaches to solve problems, automate work, and improve processes.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex information into clear, practical recommendations for business partners and senior leaders.
  • Undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of training and experience. Graduate degree preferred.

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.
