- The other half is focused on designing the systems that enable scale for the function, including playbooks, engagement cadences, tools, workflows, and hiring profiles for future team members.
Responsibilities
- Conduct regular business reviews: analyze booking data, client pipeline, product adoption, and pacing to build a clear picture of each advisor's business
- Help advisors identify where they're stuck and create a plan to break through-whether that's client acquisition, booking category expansion, or operational efficiency

- Partner with Ops & Enablement on the infrastructure build
- Serve as a liaison between Fora X and vertical business units-such as cruise and groups-connecting advisors to the right internal resources and external supplier partners

- Own escalations: route to the right internal team and stay in the loop until resolved
- Experience working alongside or directly with AI tooling teams to shape how data and automation support a client-facing function
Requirements
- Genuine ability to talk business with top producers-not just relationship management, but substantive conversations about strategy, pipeline, and growth trajectory

Nice to have
- MBA or other advanced degree
- Background in consulting, revenue operations, sales enablement, or client strategy
