Director Ria Financial Services Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Larson Capital Management LLC we are seek a Director of Business Development — RIA Distribution to join as LCM’s primary external-facing capital formation hire, responsible for building and owning the firm’s RIA distribution channel from the ground up.

• Identify and pursue new RIA partnership opportunities, including platform approvals and due diligence processes with RIA custodians and aggregators.

Product Communication & Education

• Serve as a knowledgeable and credible voice for LCM’s investment platform in external advisor settings, communicating fund strategies, structures, performance drivers, and risk considerations clearly.
• Tailor messaging to the specific needs and investment frameworks of independent RIAs and their end clients.
• Deliver compelling presentations, due diligence materials, and one-on-one conversations that move advisors through the evaluation and commitment process.
• Stay current on private real estate market trends, competitive landscape, and RIA industry dynamics to position LCM effectively against alternatives.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with the Director of BD — Advisor Channel, IR, marketing, and investment teams to ensure consistent messaging and coordinated distribution strategy.
• Provide market feedback from RIA conversations to inform product development, fund structuring, and communication priorities.
• Coordinate with the Director of Marketing & Communications on RIA-facing collateral, pitch materials, and digital presence.
• Maintain accurate and organized records of RIA relationships, pipeline activity, meeting notes, and commitments in Salesforce CRM.
• Travel extensively to RIA offices, conferences, and industry events as required by the distribution mandate.

• Bachelor’s degree required; degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or related field preferred.
• 7–10 years of external-facing capital raising or RIA distribution experience, with a demonstrated track record of closing new allocator relationships.
• Existing network of RIA relationships with the ability to activate quickly upon joining LCM.
• Deep understanding of how independent RIAs evaluate, approve, and allocate to alternative investments, including private real estate.
• Strong knowledge of private real estate fund structures, alternative investment vehicles, and private placements.
• Experience navigating RIA custodian platforms, due diligence processes, and aggregator relationships preferred.
• Proficiency with Salesforce CRM or equivalent platform.
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively in support of RIA relationship development.
• FINRA Series 7 license preferred.
• Series 65 license preferred.

Skills & Abilities

• Genuine hunter mentality — energized by prospecting, pipeline development, and closing.
• Credible, polished presence with sophisticated allocators and investment professionals.
• Strong command of private real estate fundamentals, fund mechanics, and alternative investment positioning.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to tailor messaging to diverse advisor audiences.
• Commercially minded and results-driven, with clear accountability for capital raise outcomes.
