As part of Addepar’s Go To Market team, the BDO - Custodian Relationships (“the Role”) manages and expands relationships within Wealth Tech consulting teams at leading Americas based custodians (“Custodians”). These firms wield significant influence over Wealth Tech buying decisions by RIAs and other wealth managers. More specifically, the Role is responsible for driving engagement and education with key collaborators (both internal and external) as a means to source referrals and shepherd them through the sales cycle in partnership with other GTM personnel.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an industry innovator in the Wealth Tech space as well as a dynamic team that enables the ecosystem surrounding Addepar’s industry changing/leading software platform! Like other members of Addepar’s Partnerships team, you will drive strategic alliances and cultivate relationships to enhance our market reach and deliver additional value to our clients. A key component of the Role is traveling to industry events as well as in-person meetings with a broad range of Custodians personnel to help them develop a deeper understanding of Addepar’s products and services.

Addepar takes a market-based approach to pay. A successful candidate’s starting pay will be determined based on the role, job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target base salary for roles in Colorado, California, and New York.

The current range for this role is $117,000 - $183,000 (base salary) + bonus + equity + benefits.

Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process. Additionally, these ranges reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits.
