About Ready to Fund:Ready to Fund, LLC (R2F) is the investment arm of an entrepreneurial family trust that has been helping small businesses navigate cash-flow challenges since 2003. Our mission is to give business owners time to adapt, stabilize, and grow. We provide fast, short-term capital when it's needed most, often to meet critical obligations like tomorrows payroll, helping companies survive and thrive in an unpredictable economy. We are a small, entrepreneurial, and highly collaborative team working remotely across the U.S., with roots in Princeton, New Jersey and Las Vegas, Nevada. We're mission-driven, fast-paced, and deeply supportive of one another, with a culture built on trust, ownership, and work-life balance.What you will do:The Client Relations Manager will specialize in exceptional client service, and who possesses honed relationship-building and selling skills. The role owns a portfolio of SMB clients from the moment a vetted lead is passed to the Client Relations team; the successful candidate guides the client through underwriting and onboarding and will remain their trusted point of contact for the life of the relationship - someone who picks up the phone, asks the right questions, and genuinely understands the cash-flow problem a client is trying to solve. This is a relationship-first, revenue-generating role: part account management, part sales.
