Job description

About Arootah

Arootah is a talent solutions firm purpose-built for the alternative investment industry. We advise and we execute across the four pillars of talent infrastructure: Hiring, Development, Retention, and Transition. That work takes three forms. Our Fractional Advisors strengthen client teams, step into interim roles, or bring deep subject-matter expertise, part-time or full-time, with a path to permanent employment. We also provide executive coaching for senior leaders and team training that builds lasting capability. And we are building a do-it-yourself (DIY) platform that lets clients find, match with, and engage our fractional advisors and coaches directly.

Our leaders have operated at the highest levels of alternative investment firms. That operator experience, combined with a network of 5,000+ fractional advisors across all functional disciplines and 600+ executive coaches, is what makes the advice credible and the execution reliable.

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.
