The role
You will source the top of our acquisition funnel. That means finding, sourcing, qualifying, and managing a pipeline of acquisition opportunities. This is an outbound, high-volume seat. It suits someone who is comfortable being told no, who can learn an unfamiliar industry fast, and who is organized enough to build hundreds of relationships in a short time.
What you will do
- Identify and qualify acquisition targets that fit our criteria. Usually owner-operated vertical market software businesses.
- Plan and run outbound prospecting campaigns on LinkedIn, by email, by phone, at trade shows, and in person.
- Build durable relationships with founders, owner-operators and CEOs, and with the bankers, brokers, and PE and VC funds around them.
- Keep our Salesforce CRM current.
- Use AI through the whole job: research, list building, enrichment, drafting, prioritization.
- Work with deal leads across our operating groups to move qualified targets forward.
What we are looking for
Required
- Two to five years in enterprise software sales, outbound business development, or venture capital deal sourcing.
- A track record of hitting and beating targets in a quick-paced outbound environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to build rapport remotely
- Fluency with AI tools for research and outreach — expect us to ask specifically how you use them
- Company research and CRM discipline.
- Self-motivated and comfortable working autonomously, thinking independently, and setting your own priorities
- Detail-oriented and entrepreneurial, and able to stay effective when priorities and pressures shift
- Willing to travel now and then to meet companies and attend trade shows.
- Advanced Salesforce experience, including building your own reports.
- Strong Excel and Microsoft Office proficiency.
- A bachelor's degree in business, economics, or a related field.
Pay and benefits
- Full-time, with a competitive salary, variable pay, and comprehensive benefits.
- A career track that can carry you well past this role.
