Associate, M&A; Join the World's Most Successful Acquirer of Software Businesses Location: Remote, Canada

Reports to: Director, M&A;

Company Overview Volaris Group, a subsidiary of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX: CSU), acquires, strengthens, and grows vertical market software companies. Unlike traditional private equity or strategic buyers, we follow a buy-and-hold-forever strategy and operate in a highly decentralized environment.

Our mission is to help our companies become clear leaders in their respective industries, supported by long-term capital and operational expertise. Today, Volaris is home to over 200 companies in more than 50 countries.

The Role

As an M&A; Associate, you'll support the full acquisition lifecycle — from sourcing and lead generation through NDAs, valuation, indicative offers and letters of intent, due diligence, and transaction close. The role is roughly 60% deal execution and 40% business development, though the mix shifts depending on where the team is in the M&A; cycle.

You will be tasked with supporting M&A; transactions and will be comfortable driving a cross-functional due diligence process — coordinating internal stakeholders and external advisors toward a close. You'll also gather key information on risks and opportunities and translate it into fact-based, well-reasoned insights on the valuation and structural impact of each acquisition. This is a quick-paced,



entrepreneurial environment: strong candidates enjoy both the analytical rigor of modeling and valuation and the relationship-building side of sourcing deals.

The team works with colleagues across time zones globally, so some meetings will fall outside standard business hours. We offer a flexible, remote-friendly working environment. Expect occasional travel for conferences, in-person diligence, closings, and team meetings.

Responsibilities

- Support the Director, M&A; in the creation of the Portfolio’s M&A; strategy.
- Execute the M&A; transactions, including:
- Analyze target businesses, including financial and operational performance, industry dynamics, and growth drivers.
- Build and maintain detailed financial models and valuation analyses.
- Identify risks and opportunities, and ensure they are assessed and presented in business cases.
- Prepare and present indicative offers and letters of intent (LOIs).
- Support the purchase agreement negotiation process.
- Oversee cross-functional internal and external teams to drive the due diligence process.
- Oversee the development of investment committee materials.
- Support final negotiations, legal documentation, and transaction close.
- Proactively identify, research, qualify,



and engage with potential acquisition targets aligned with our strategic criteria.
- Cultivate and manage relationships with company owners, advisors, and intermediaries.
- Perform any other reasonable duties as required.

Qualifications

- 2+ years of experience in M&A; deal execution (investment banking, corporate development, private equity, or related).
- Strong relationship management and business development capabilities, particularly with small to mid-sized, owner-operated businesses.
- Experience in the software or technology sector is a strong asset.
- Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines in a dynamic environment.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and financial modeling, with a solid understanding of accounting principles.
- Willingness to work flexible hours across time zones and travel as required.
- A collaborative, team-first mindset combined with the confidence and professionalism to engage with senior executives, business owners, bankers, lawyers, and advisors.

What We Offer
- Base salary starting range at $100,000 + M&A; incentives (base compensation varies based on experience).
- A flexible, remote-friendly working environment.
- Direct exposure to high-impact deals alongside seasoned M&A; professionals across the globe.
- Long-term career growth within a successful, acquisition-driven organization of 200+ operating companies.
