Search Fund & Acquisition Sourcing Associate

WE ARE HIRING A SEARCH FUND & ACQUISITION SOURCING ASSOCIATE TO BUILD PROPRIETARY DEAL FLOW FOR SMALL-BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS. THIS ROLE EMPHASIZES DISCIPLINED MARKET MAPPING, OWNER OUTREACH, AND PIPELINE MANAGEMENT RATHER THAN FINANCIAL MODELING ALONE.

Responsibilities

• Turn investment themes into precise target-company criteria and searchable market maps.
• Research fragmented industries, identify owner-operated businesses, and enrich decision-maker data.
• Write personalized outreach that demonstrates real knowledge of the company and owner.
• Run multi-channel sequences and conduct early qualification calls.
• Maintain accurate pipeline stages, notes, follow-ups, and disqualification reasons.
• Measure performance by qualified owner conversations and actionable opportunities, not raw email volume.

Requirements

• Based in Latin America with professional English; Spanish or Portuguese fluency preferred.
• 1–3 years in search funds, private equity, investment banking, corporate development, executive search, B2B sales, or comparable sourcing work.
• Strong research judgment, concise writing, and persistent but respectful follow-through.
• Advanced Google Sheets or Excel skills and comfort working from a CRM every day.

Helpful but not required

• Prior search-fund internship or lower-middle-market transaction exposure.
• Experience with Clay, Apollo, PitchBook, Capital IQ, Grata, HubSpot, or Affinity.
• A work sample showing how you mapped a market or sourced hard-to-find companies.
