Job description
Overview
Guide decisions. Build lasting impact.
Retirement Sales is where your conversations shape long-term outcomes. You’ll partner with businesses to design, implement, and enhance 401(k) plans—helping employers support their teams while building stronger, more competitive organizations.
Retirement Sales is a consultative, relationship-driven sales role focused on working with existing clients and cross-functional partners. You’ll help organizations navigate retirement planning decisions, simplify complex needs, and deliver solutions that support financial well-being and long-term growth.
Every conversation builds trust. Every solution creates value. Every win drives meaningful impact.
Responsibilities
What You’ll Do
- Grow client relationships by identifying opportunities to establish, convert, or enhance 401(k) retirement plans
- Sell retirement solutions, including plan setup, conversions, and integrated payroll + retirement offerings
- Lead consultative conversations with business owners and decision-makers to understand needs and align solutions
- Partner with internal sales teams and referral partners to uncover opportunities and expand client value
- Manage a consultative sales cycle focused on relationship development and solution alignment
- Demonstrate strong prospecting skills, including direct selling to small to mid-sized business owners, while balancing expansion within existing accounts and generating new opportunities
What It Takes to Win
- 1–3 years of professional or B2B sales experience (field or inside sales environments)
- Strong relationship management skills and ability to build trust with clients and partners
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, transactional sales environment
- Comfort navigating compliance-sensitive or detail-oriented conversations
- Consistent follow-through and accountability in managing opportunities and client relationships
- Ability to collaborate across teams to support a seamless, client-centered experience
- Financial services or 401(k) exposure is helpful but not required
Why This Role
- Uncapped earning potential with opportunities to grow within a high-impact product line
- Opportunity to build expertise in retirement solutions backed by an established industry platform
- Consultative sales environment focused on long-term relationships and meaningful client outcomes
- Strong cross-functional partnerships that support deal development and client success
- Clear path to expand your career across sales, leadership, and specialized roles
If you’re a relationship-driven seller looking to build expertise, credibility, and long-term impact—this is where you grow.
