Ascent Developer Solutions is a private lending platform serving real estate developers nationwide in acquisition, renovation, and construction of residential real estate. The company was founded by a leadership team with deep expertise across all facets of real estate development and creates custom, innovative lending solutions for diverse development strategies.
As a Client Acquisition Associate, you will drive Ascent's growth by identifying and acquiring new clients while showcasing the platform's unique capabilities to prospective developers in existing and expansion markets. You will leverage internal and external data sources to identify qualified prospects and convert them into clients, serving as a first point of contact from the sales team.
Key responsibilities include cold-calling and selling the Ascent platform to prospective clients; utilizing, enhancing, and validating data tools to identify and evaluate prospects both qualitatively and quantitatively; collaborating on metrics and reporting systems to track calls, conversion timing, and client feedback; gathering market intelligence from client conversations to inform geographic and product strategies; and working collaboratively across the organization to drive growth and solve problems.
You will need a bachelor's degree in business management, communications, finance, or marketing, plus a minimum of 3 years of professional sales experience—preferably in financial services or lending—with at least 1 year of proven cold-calling and client conversion success. The ideal candidate demonstrates leadership ability, strong business acumen, intellectual curiosity, exceptional communication skills (written and verbal), and proficiency in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. You should excel at time management, take initiative with clear business objectives, and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.
The role is based in Ascent's Encino office, Monday through Thursday on-site, with Fridays as work-from-home. Salary ranges from $90,000 to $100,000 annually with a commission structure. Benefits include five health plans, two dental plans, HSA/FSA options, vision coverage, and a 401(k) plan.
