We are seeking experienced Investor Acquisition Agents to form our new team to launch a fundraising initiative by identifying and securing investors in the United States (primary), Canada, and Mexico for Fio Capital’s international corporate bonds (between $100,000 – $10M). Agents will leverage their established networks to attract venture capitalists, private equity firms, institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and family offices with an appetite for international and emerging market opportunities.

Agents will receive a 2.5-3.0% commission on funds successfully raised and will report directly to the lead for Fio Capital in the United States, Matthew McLean, who will direct the effort. Agents will receive company materials and training.

Key Responsibilities

· Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate investment opportunities.

· Proven ability to work independently, meet fundraising targets, and manage multiple investor relationships simultaneously.
