About the Engagement
Arootah is engaging an independent client development consultant to originate new business across our fractional advisory, executive coaching, and team training services. This is a business development and sales role focused on selling Arootah’s services to fund managers, not raising capital.

This is a consulting engagement, not employment. You run your own business under your own name, set your own schedule and methods, and are free to work with other firms. Arootah sets its own pricing and engagement terms. You are paid for results. The engagement runs for a fixed initial term, renewable by mutual agreement.

It suits a seasoned seller with established relationships among decision-makers at alternative investment managers who wants real upside from the relationships they bring, and who is genuinely fascinated by sales: the craft, the psychology, and the challenge of turning a no into a yes.

The work is client-facing and relationship-driven: introducing senior decision-makers to Arootah over lunches, dinners, and meetings, and supporting high-profile prospect/client events, such as a private dinner Arootah is co-hosting with a major investment bank.

Scope of Services
Originate qualified opportunities and close new business for Arootah’s fractional advisory, executive coaching, and team training services. Introduce Arootah to senior executives and decision-makers at hedge funds, family offices, and other alternative investment firms, drawing on your existing relationships. Meet prospects in person across New York City, and by video where it suits the client. Invite qualified prospects to Arootah-hosted events, and represent Arootah at mutually agreed-upon industry events. Manage your opportunities from first outreach through proposal and close, usin Arootah’s proposals, pricing, and engagement terms. Register your leads with Arootah to receive commission credit. Share market feedback that helps Arootah position its services.

What We’re Looking For
At least 5 years selling professional services (such as talent, consulting, fund services, or technology) to hedge funds, family offices, or other alternative investment managers. Established relationships with decision-makers at alternative investment managers (COOs, CFOs, CIOs, founders), with particular depth among hedge funds. Family office relationships are a strong plus. A demonstrated track record of originating and closing new business. An independent practice or business entity, or the willingness to operate through one. Comfort with compensation based entirely on results. Tech- and AI-savvy: comfortable using AI tools day to day. Based in or near New York City, with the ability to meet clients in person.

Compensation

This is a 100% commission engagement. There is no retainer or base pay.
Commission, at a rate agreed in your consulting agreement, on new business you originate and close.

As an independent contractor, you are responsible for your own taxes, expenses, equipment, and insurance. No employee benefits are provided.

Arootah covers the cost of Arootah-hosted events and offers an optional briefing on its services.

The engagement is governed by a written consulting agreement.
