Relationship Manager

Description:

This is a high-conviction, delivery-focused seat designed for an exceptional relationship-builder. This is explicitly not a traditional, transactional recruitment role. There is no cold business development, no random KPI-chasing, and no quick-turnover volume. Instead, this is a strategic "relationship farming" mandate. Your single objective is to manage, nurture, and systematically advance an elite network of over 40 passive, top-tier quantitative portfolio management candidates across rolling 6-month cycles. The Startup Reality Onyx is in its fourth year. We are deliberately built small, highly focused, and exceptionally high-margin. You are not joining a sprawling agency with a slow, structured corporate career ladder. Instead, you are entering at a clear inflection point—where our client relationships are deeply established, our brand is proven, and the primary bottleneck is simply founder execution bandwidth. For the right professional, this is the clearest path available to develop genuine market expertise, build an elite network, and earn at a level that few institutional seats at your current stage can match. The Core Focus • Systematic Cadence Engineering: Own and independently run a disciplined 30/60/90-day relationship touchpoint loop with passive candidates, ensuring no high-value connection cools off. • Mandate Briefing & First-Touch: Initiate high-signal, credible outreach from structured hotlists, effectively profiling and briefing sophisticated candidates on complex, cross-asset buy-side mandates. • Pipeline Hygiene & Management: Maintain absolute operational mastery of the daily CRM data stream, keeping candidate mapping context current so pipeline velocity moves continuously in the background. The Structural Edge • Proprietary AI & Intelligence Layer: You will be supported by a proprietary, AI-optimized research and intelligence engine that automates market mapping, candidate classification, and real-time career readiness signal detection at scale. • This is not a role where you build your database from scratch. You step directly into a continuously enriched, warm pipeline and an operating system designed to make your research and execution faster, sharper, and more data-driven than anything available inside a traditional legacy search firm.
