The Job/What You’ll Do:
AssetMark is seeking ambitious, results-driven sales professionals to join our Business Development organization as a Business Development Specialist (BDS). This role is built for individuals who want more than a traditional prospecting position - it combines meaningful sales responsibility, broad exposure across the organization, and a structured path to develop toward future sales opportunities.
Each BDS will support Business Development Consultants across an assigned region and will help create new advisor engagement through outbound prospecting, meeting generation, and event outreach. Because the role partners with multiple sales teams, successful BDSs will gain visibility into how territories are managed, how advisor opportunities develop, and how experienced sales professionals move conversations forward.
The BDS role offers a rare combination of immediate contribution and long-term development. You will work alongside experienced sales professionals, gain exposure to multiple territories and selling styles, build relationships across the organization, and create a visible record of performance. For someone who wants to prove what they can do and prepare for the next step in sales, this role is designed to provide that opportunity.
The BDS role is designed to give high performers the opportunity to build a measurable sales track record while learning directly from BDCs, Regional Consultants, and sales leaders across AssetMark.
