What you will do

• Proactively source, qualify, and convert a robust pipeline of book acquisition opportunities, with accountability for meeting ambitious acquisition and revenue targets.
• Drive transactions to close by coordinating closely with internal book acquisition support teams, maintaining momentum and removing obstacles throughout the process.
• Lead sales, marketing, and educational discussions related to the acquisition program, including high-stakes conversations with advisors evaluating full or partial practice sales.
• Partner with the Financial Solutions Centre, Continuum Financial Centre or Pinnacle to execute focused acquisition strategies, prioritize high-impact opportunities, and deliver results in target markets.

What you will bring

• Minimum of 10 years of experience in business development, advisory distribution, or a closely related field.
