As a Barron's Top 100 RIA and one of Fortune's Best Workplaces, Mission Wealth is seeking a relationship-driven, growth-minded Business Development Advisor to help expand our national presence. If you're passionate about financial planning, enjoy building meaningful relationships, and thrive in a consultative sales environment, we'd love to meet you.

In this highly visible role, you'll serve as one of the first points of contact for prospective clients generated through our digital marketing efforts. You'll connect with qualified prospects, uncover their financial goals, educate them on Mission Wealth's planning-first approach, and guide them confidently through the early stages of their journey. Working alongside our award-winning marketing team and experienced wealth advisors, you'll play a critical role in converting opportunities into client relationships.

This position is ideal for someone who combines strong sales instincts with financial planning knowledge and enjoys helping people take meaningful action toward their financial future. Rather than managing an ongoing book of business, your success will come from creating exceptional first impressions, building trust, and connecting prospective clients with the right advisory team.

Mission Wealth has provided comprehensive wealth management services to affluent families since 2000. Through our integrated, planning-first approach, we help clients navigate every stage of life with confidence, ensuring their financial strategies evolve alongside their goals.

  • Maintain an organized and accurate sales pipeline within Salesforce and Pardot, ensuring timely follow-up and exceptional CRM data quality.
  • Coordinate consultations, planning presentations, and implementation meetings while proactively managing reschedules, no-shows, and re-engagement opportunities.
  • Identify recurring prospect questions, objections, and lead quality trends, sharing insights that strengthen future marketing and sales initiatives.
Marketing & Sales Partnership
