At Riveron, we partner with clients, from global multinationals to high-growth private entities, to solve complex finance and business challenges with urgency, precision, and creativity.

As Riveron continues to grow, we are investing in leaders who can deepen our presence in key markets and create new opportunities with corporate clients, private companies, strategic partners, private equity and other- relationships. The SF Bay Area market is a priority growth area for the firm, and this role will play an important part in expanding Riveron’s visibility, relationships, and revenue opportunities across the local business community.

This is not a traditional account management or sales enablement role. The person in this seat will be responsible for opening doors, activating a relevant local network, creating new client conversations, and working closely with Riveron’s market, practice, and client service leaders to convert relationships into business opportunities. The strongest candidate will know how to bring the right people into the room early, position Riveron’s capabilities in a clear and credible way, and build momentum through disciplined follow up and collaborative execution.

The ideal candidate brings a mix of local market connectivity, commercial acumen and judgment, relationship orientation, and professional services knowledge and credibility. They are confident enough to create opportunities through their own network, but collaborative enough to bring the broader firm into client conversations at the right time. They are energized by growth, comfortable operating in a relationship-driven sales environment, and motivated by helping build a stronger SF Bay Area market presence for Riveron.
