• Develop and maintain a strong acquisition pipeline aligned to our corporate strategy.
• Provide regular reporting and insights to executive leadership on pipeline health, deal progress, and strategic implications.
• Represent the company externally with professionalism and credibility, serving as a trusted partner to advisors, brokers, and target companies.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of experience in M&A, investment banking, private equity, transaction advisory (Big 4), consulting, or corporate development.
• Demonstrated track record in deal execution — from origination through closing.
• Strong financial modeling, valuation, and analytical skills.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills; ability to engage effectively with small business owners, executives, and internal leadership.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to connect market insights to corporate growth objectives.
• Highly collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
