the posting
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.
