Private Client Relationship Manager, Founders School - $400,000/year USD

About the role

This position demands the ability to build and sustain relationships with high-net-worth individuals, particularly those involved in their children's future. It requires managing the entire pipeline of vetted prospective families, guiding them through a rigorous engagement process, and maintaining the relationship over years.

Responsibilities

• Managing the entire pipeline of vetted prospective families — each lead transforms into a genuine relationship with you as the anchor.
• Organizing events that unite prospective and enrolled families, ranging from broader information sessions to curated dinners and casual gatherings.
• Shepherding families through application and due diligence — clarifying the school model, the guarantee structure, and the educational trajectory, moving them from curiosity to enrollment without resorting to aggressive tactics.
• Maintaining warmth across the entire family ecosystem — those deliberating, those enrolled, and those whose younger children will follow.
• Initiating outreach proactively so families receive communication before needing to request it.
• Embodying Founders School for these families while constructing the scalable relationship and enrollment framework that enables program operation and expansion.
• Collaborating directly with school leadership handling the highest-tier early conversations as you establish the foundational system.

Requirements

• You possess authentic comfort and proven effectiveness building relationships with high-net-worth individuals.
• Your orientation is relationship-centric, not transaction-focused. Hard-sell, commission-driven environments would make you uncomfortable, and you're motivated by building enduring excellence rather than inflating metrics.
• You demonstrate sufficient organization and initiative to own a pipeline independently. Nothing escapes attention, and no family experiences neglect after commitment.
• You currently reside in or will relocate to New York, NY within 60 days.
• You possess legal authorization to work in the United States.

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Investor-relations or relationship-management background at a fund.
• Established connections within, or recognized credibility among, NYC high-net-worth communities.
• Authentic conviction in the mission — that entrepreneurial education surpasses traditional pathways — and enthusiasm for articulating that narrative.
