Company Overview

We are on a mission to ensure that the financial system is routing money to the best ideas while helping people build and protect their long-term financial health. Our platform empowers financial advisors to learn about, build personalized strategies around, and invest in (previously inaccessible) private investments to help them grow their businesses and improve the outcomes of their clients. 

The market for private investments is expected to grow by $2 trillion in the next decade, but remains largely inaccessible to the majority of non-institutional investors. Our platform provides exclusive educational content, personalized guidance, bespoke investment options, and a streamlined investment process to help make these investments more accessible than ever before. 


About the Role

As a member of the Advisory Services team, you will help us cultivate, identify, target, and close business with prospective customers and strategic partners. You will be a leader in representing Opto to the world and serve as a valued thought partner to our clients and our community. You will nurture and grow relationships with clients, growing their business with Opto and their trust in our software, product, and recommendations. You will shape the Opto story, value proposition, and company development as a key conduit between our unique market position and the demands of those to whom we can add the most value. Opto is client-obsessed and believes there is a better way for most people to access private markets–you will be on the front line of this industry shaping change. 

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Develop and iterate on go-to-market strategy for initial and subsequent segments of the wealth market
  • Drive custom fund adoption, demand for investment product and the enhancement of our technology offering and platform 
  • Manage relationships and business growth with key accounts 
  • Perform extensive private market research and distill this into client ready viewpoints and answers to client questions
  • Represent the value proposition of Opto to prospective customers via outreach, events, media presence, and thought leadership
  • Identify market trends and new opportunities for the business
  • Partner with our product and engineering teams to capture client insights and drive the development of innovative technology that empowers clients to design and scale their private market solutions
