• Partner with Client Development to conduct discovery sessions with RIA stakeholders (owners, COOs, operations leaders, advisors) to understand business models, client segments, service models, and operational pain points.
• Assess currentstate technology stacks and process flows across custodial platforms, CRMs, portfolio accounting systems, planning tools, and digital client experiences; identify gaps, inefficiencies, and risks relative to growth goals and client experience.
• Design targetstate technology architectures that center Altruist as the core custodial and operating platform, alongside key thirdparty systems (CRM, portfolio accounting, planning, analytics, digital onboarding, esignature).
• Support the development of actionable technology and migration roadmaps, including quick wins, phased implementations, and changemanagement plans tailored to each firm.

• Work alongside Client Development throughout the sales cycle - from early discovery through close - taking a consultative, solutionoriented approach.

• Answer technical and workflow questions related to platform capabilities, integrations, data flows, and daytoday operations; bring in additional SMEs (Product, Data, Operations, Compliance) as needed.
• Systematically capture advisor and operations feedback throughout the sales cycle and share it back with Product, Operations, and the Sr. Solutions Engineer, to influence roadmap, integrations, and playbooks.

• Deliver training sessions, workshops, and oneonone coaching for advisor and operations teams on how to use Altruist effectively, with a focus on daytoday workflows and best practices.
• Create and maintain reference materials (playbooks, process maps, checklists, job aids) that help firms adopt new workflows and realize the full value of Altruist.
• Measure and report on adoption, utilization, and efficiency gains for onboarded firms; recommend ongoing enhancements based on what you see in the field.

• Act as a strategic partner to Sales, Relationship Management, Product, and Operations by translating advisor needs and realworld operational constraints into clear technology and process requirements.
• Provide input into product strategy and the integrations roadmap based on patterns you see across advisors using Altruist.
• Contribute to the sales team's goal of creating predictable, scalable growth by meeting SLAs, maintaining accurate and complete records in Salesforce, and proactively identifying ways to improve tools, processes, and collateral.
• Travel as required during the pre and postsales process (estimated ~10-25%, depending on client needs and territory).
