Artha is a portfolio intelligence platform built for financial advisors, wealth managers, family offices, and institutional investors .

The next chapter is about building distribution around it . The Opportunity This is a zero-to-one commercial leadership role for someone who has built before—not someone looking simply to manage an established sales organization. You won’t inherit a mature inbound funnel, SDR organization, or finished sales playbook.

financial products Deep familiarity with the wealth-management and investment ecosystem Established relationships across RIAs, family offices, and/or institutional investors Proven track record of

feedback Ability to translate sophisticated investment products and technology into a simple, compelling commercial narrative Comfortable selling directly to sophisticated investment professionals and decision-makers Strong pipeline management and commercial discipline Comfortable working directly with founders, investment professionals, product leaders, and engineers Entrepreneurial mindset and

following is particularly valuable: Portfolio construction Model portfolios TAMPs Custodial platforms Investment analytics Advisor technology Wealth-management platforms Asset-management solutions Institutional investment technology Financial advisor technology ecosystems What Makes You a Strong Fit You’ll likely thrive in this role if you: Have built commercial motions before , rather than only managed established sales teams Have a meaningful network within wealth management and investment technology Know how to create pipeline without relying on a mature inbound engine Can personally open doors and convert relationships into commercial opportunities Are equally comfortable discussing sophisticated investment concepts and closing business Can identify patterns across early customer conversations and turn them into a repeatable sales strategy Understand both direct selling and strategic distribution Want significant influence over positioning, customer strategy, partnerships, and product direction Are comfortable working closely with founders in an early-stage environment Can move between high-level commercial strategy and hands-on execution Are entrepreneurial, analytical, and commercially minded Want to build the sales organization—not simply inherit one What a Typical Day Looks Like Your day could include prospecting into target RIAs or family offices, leveraging your network to open a conversation with an institutional investor, running discovery with a potential customer, or presenting Artha’s portfolio intelligence platform to investment professionals. You may then work with Product and Investments to refine positioning based on what you’re hearing in the market, review the pipeline and forecast, develop a strategic distribution relationship with a wealth platform or custodian, and prepare for an industry meeting or conference. Early on, much of your time will be spent directly in the market. As patterns emerge, you’ll turn those learnings into a repeatable commercial process and scalable distribution model . In short: you’ll build Artha’s commercial engine while personally proving how it works. What Success Looks Like Your first priority will be learning—Artha, its customers, the market, and why prospects engage or don’t. From there, success means: Sharpening Artha’s ideal customer profile and commercial narrative Materially increasing qualified market conversations Establishing a disciplined and measurable sales process Determining which segments, channels, messages, and use cases show the strongest commercial signal Building qualified pipeline Converting pipeline into revenue Developing meaningful strategic distribution relationships Creating a repeatable distribution model Reducing dependence on individual relationships and founder-led selling Building the commercial foundation required for future scale Key Metrics for Success Qualified market conversations generated Qualified pipeline created Pipeline-to-revenue conversion New customers closed Revenue generated Sales-cycle progression and velocity Strategic distribution relationships established Direct-sales channel performance Partner-driven pipeline and opportunities CRM and forecasting discipline Identification of repeatable customer segments and use cases Commercial messaging effectiveness Development of a scalable sales and distribution model Why Artha, Why Now Artha isn’t asking you to sell an idea that still needs to be built. The technology is live. The investment expertise is established. There are real customers, institutional use, and industry integrations. The platform addresses an everyday challenge for investment professionals: understanding what changing markets could mean for their portfolios. What hasn’t been built yet is the commercial engine capable of taking Artha to a much larger market . That’s the opportunity. You’ll join early enough to have genuine influence over positioning, customer strategy, partnerships, product, and the future commercial organization , while working with an established platform and experienced team. For someone who has spent years in wealth management or investment technology thinking, “I know how I’d build this if I had the opportunity,” this role provides that opportunity. Compensation Base Salary + Significant Performance-Based Incentive Compensation + Equity Opportunity Compensation will reflect the seniority of the role and the expectation that this person will both build and personally execute Artha’s commercial strategy .
