Deal Origination Associate
About the role
stealth vertical AI holding company
forgotten economy
- lumber suppliers, elevator repair, marinas, mobile home parks, tow trucks, locksmiths, tattoo parlors, pest control, sign manufacturers, and 20+ other overlooked verticals. We buy the systems of record these industries already run on, then layer AI agents and embedded fintech on top to compound cash flow. Every acquisition is a permanent home for a founder's life work.
More about who we are will be shared under NDA.
The Role
software founders in 25+ niche verticals
outbound origination + relationship compounding + deal quarterbacking
- the exact function that separates Constellation's operating groups from every wannabe roll-up that has flamed out.
What You'll Do...
Own the top of funnel end-to-end.
Run heavy outbound.
Build 3-year relationships.
Show up in the physical world.
Qualify ruthlessly against the buy box
Quarterback deals from first call to signed LOI.
Leverage our proprietary distribution.
On Day 1 we expect you to have...
• 2-5 years in deal sourcing / origination at a private equity firm, holding company, or search fund.
• You've done cold outbound at scale and enjoyed it. If a cold email makes you flinch, this is the wrong seat.
• Financial literacy: you can read a P&L, calculate SDE/EBITDA add-backs, and sanity-check a 4x multiple in your head.
• High-trust operator. Founders will share their most personal financial information with you. You are their fiduciary before you are ours.
• You've read every Constellation Software president's letter. Or you will by Week 2.
Nice to have...
• Domain experience in any of our target verticals or a prior small software exit.
Who You Are not
• A banker looking for a comfortable seat and 2/20 economics
• Someone who needs a warm lead list handed to them
• A "network person" who can't send 50 cold emails a day
• Anyone allergic to visiting a lumber yard in rural areas
We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you're excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
