Summary

The Director of Internal Sales is responsible for building, developing, and leading a high-performing internal sales team that supports national distribution across mutual funds, ETFs, and SMAs. This role owns internal sales activity standards, performance metrics, and CRM discipline while ensuring tight alignment between internal and external wholesalers. Success in this role is defined by improved outbound engagement, stronger meeting conversion, and consistent net flow growth.
