About the Role
We are hiring from Associate to VP level to be a core part of our sourcing and origination function. You will partner with firm leadership to help lead pre-LOI activities: identifying, diligencing, dealmaking, closing, and owning this investment lifecycle stage. You will utilize your own investment judgment to decide what companies we should pursue and where we should spend our time. This is a foundational hire where you will work directly with the team to build out this function from the ground up with real ownership over team and process design.
Responsibilities
- Source and evaluate software acquisition opportunities using investment judgment.
- Maintain and improve sourcing infrastructure, including outbound systems, coverage models, and intermediary relationships.
- Drive due diligence processes and coordinate cross-functional workstreams with advisors and stakeholders.
- Support deal structuring, negotiation, transaction execution, and overall dealmaking.
- Collaborate with portfolio company leadership on post-acquisition strategy and add-on acquisitions.
- Help hire and develop team members as the firm grows.
Requirements
- 1–6+ years of private equity, growth equity, or VC investing experience preferred.
- Growth and sales roles at fast-growing startups also accepted.
- Strong investment judgment and deep understanding of enterprise software.
- Exceptional communication skills with founders and management teams.
- Ability to run through walls and thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments.
- Genuine interest in helping grow and operate exceptional software companies.
- Builder mentality — energized by shaping something early, not executing established playbooks.
