Key Responsibilities
Agency Onboarding & Account Management (first focus):
- Own the onboarding and implementation experience for net-new agencies entering Fora for the first time, and for Fora Advisor teams graduating into full agencies.
- Build the SOPs and onboarding playbook that get agencies productive fast—including product and Fora-tool adoption, with Sales and the Solutions Architect / ProdOps teams.
- Serve as the ongoing account and accountability owner for agencies once they're on the platform.
Strategy & Operations (first focus):
- Define the agency model's positioning and go-to-market in partnership with Sales—and build the repeatable playbook that lets Fora launch and absorb new agencies.
- Identify and close gaps in training, onboarding, platform tools, supplier partnerships, and community for agencies and their advisors.
- Act as a credible, external-facing leader to senior agency principals considering a move to Fora.
Agency Portfolio Leadership & P&L (future state):
- Grow into leading Fora's own branded agencies—the General Managers who develop and run them report into this role over time. That includes standing up new agencies by hiring and overseeing the GM who builds it.
- Own the agency portfolio P&L: drive revenue through advisor productivity, client bookings, and supplier relationships across the agencies you oversee.
- Recruit, coach, and develop GMs; set the standard for how a high-performing agency is run on Fora.
- Track and report on agency performance—advisor activity, booking volume, and business growth.
