About The Position

Arootah is engaging an independent client development consultant to originate and close new business for its fractional advisory, executive coaching, and team training services. This is a business development and sales consulting engagement focused on selling Arootah’s services to fund managers, not raising capital. The consultant operates their own business under their own name, sets their own schedule and methods, and may work with other firms. Arootah sets its pricing and engagement terms. Compensation is entirely commission-based, with the rate agreed in the consulting agreement; there is no retainer or base pay. The engagement has a fixed initial term and may be renewed by mutual agreement.

The role is client-facing and relationship-driven. The consultant introduces Arootah to senior decision-makers at hedge funds, family offices, and other alternative investment firms, using existing relationships. Work includes meeting prospects in person across New York City or by video, inviting qualified prospects to Arootah-hosted events, and representing Arootah at mutually agreed industry events. The consultant manages opportunities from initial outreach through proposal and close using Arootah’s proposals, pricing, and engagement terms, registers leads for commission credit, and shares market feedback. Arootah covers the cost of its hosted events and offers an optional briefing on its services. The consultant is responsible for their own taxes, expenses, equipment, and insurance; no employee benefits are provided.
