Summary:

We have an opportunity for a Business Development Associate within Highland Capital Brokerage, a member of Osaic. This role works directly with VPs, Producers and Financial Professionals as a primary focus. Business Development Associates (BDA) are consultative and masterful communicators; organized, infinitely coachable and resilient. The BDA is more proactively focused on producer connectivity versus technical case design and as a result should focus more time and attention on producer interactions driving sales activity and revenue. However, the BDA will provide case design support. The extent to which they do this will vary based on the number and make up of VPs they support. The BDA is an individual who has a keen interest in sales. This associate is considered the second line of support to the VP by A and B producers. C and D producers may consider this individual their primary contact. These individuals may grow into roles such as an AVP or SVP.
