- 1+ years of experience in financial services preferred

What the job involves
- Masterworks is looking for a Sales Development Representative responsible for identifying, prospecting, and qualifying new investor leads to fuel the growth of our Investment Advisor team
- We are seeking a driven, high-energy individual who can spark curiosity in prospective investors, articulate the value of art as an alternative asset class, and build a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities
- 400+ outbound calls/day to engage potential investors and introduce them to Masterworks
- Qualify inbound and outbound leads by assessing investor interest and readiness through discovery conversations
- Articulate the Masterworks value proposition, explaining art as an alternative asset class in a compelling and accessible way
- Schedule qualified appointments and hand off warm leads to the Investment Advisor team
- Execute effective follow-ups with prospects who have shown interest but require further nurturing
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all prospecting activity in CRM tools
Our take
In the age of democratising access to financial platforms, Masterworks epitomises the trend through its platform, which breaks down the walls to art investment. Traditionally guarded by old institutions and reserved for the uber-rich, the company supplies a way for retail investors to access the space by pioneering the ‘fractionalising’ of art pieces.
Through Masterworks, SEC-qualified paintings by names like Banksy, Monet, and Picasso are portioned, allowing retailers to hold just a percentage of the piece via its platform. Having acquired over 100 assets, worth a total of hundreds of millions of dollars, the company has scaled well and remained agile as it capitalises on the ever-increasing popularity of alternative assets.
The company has also focussed on building out its technological capabilities. For instance, by leveraging proprietary data - acquired from becoming one of the most important buyers on the market - Masterworks believes it can deliver increased returns for its retail investors, adding further value to its platform that should attract and retain users.
