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

About the role

This position demands the ability to build and sustain long-term relationships with high-net-worth individuals, particularly those involved in their children's education. The role is akin to investor relations at an elite fund, focusing on nurturing relationships over years.

Responsibilities

• Manage the entire pipeline of vetted prospective families, ensuring each leads develops into a genuine relationship with you as the anchor.
• Organize events that unite prospective and enrolled families, ranging from broader information sessions to curated dinners and casual gatherings.
• Shepherd families through the application and due diligence process, clarifying the school model, the guarantee structure, and the educational trajectory.
• Maintain warmth across the entire family ecosystem, including those deliberating, those enrolled, and those whose younger children will follow.
• Initiate proactive outreach to ensure families receive communication before they need to request it.
• Embody Founders School for these families while constructing the scalable relationship and enrollment framework that enables program operation and expansion.
• Collaborate directly with school leadership on the highest-tier early conversations, establishing the foundational system.

Requirements

• Authentic comfort and proven effectiveness building relationships with high-net-worth individuals, with prior experience in investor relations, private wealth management, private-client sales, luxury hospitality, high-end real estate, or similar roles.
• A relationship-centric orientation, not transaction-focused. Comfortable engaging with billionaires and interpreting their individual styles.
• Sufficient organization and initiative to own a pipeline independently. Nothing escapes attention, and no family experiences neglect after commitment.
• Currently residing in or relocating to New York, NY within 60 days.
• 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 of Founders School and enthusiasm for articulating that narrative.
