OnHires - M&A Opportunity Sourcer
Requirements
• Experience: Mid-level (3+ years) in a role requiring rigorous qualification and prioritization of targets, such as M&A/Deal Origination, Venture Capital/Private Equity research, Buy-Side Research, or advanced Procurement/Strategic Sourcing. • Sharp Business Judgment: The ability to look at a small manufacturer and quickly sense: "this founder would want to talk to us" versus "this is a dead end." • Research Mastery: Advanced online-sourcing skills (LinkedIn, web intelligence, directories, registries). • Tech-Savvy: Comfortable using AI, data tooling, or no-code automation for the repetitive, fast parts of the job. • Flawless English: Exceptional written English, with the ability to write sharp, structured, and logical business summaries. • Autonomy: Highly organized and independent, capable of delivering top-tier results with minimal supervision. • A background in Finance, Strategy, Economics, or Business. • Experience in market mapping or working within companies executing roll-up/consolidation strategies. • Experience tracking pipelines via CRM/No-code databases.
Responsibilities
• This role is about judgment, not just list-building. Anyone (and any AI) can generate a list of a thousand companies. Your value lies in filtering that noise down to the few genuine opportunities worth the CEO's time. • Initial Sourcing: Build the initial pool of EU and US manufacturers/printers using search, directories, marketplaces, LinkedIn, and AI automation tools (speed here is fine). • Deep Qualitative Vetting: Move past the surface. Read target companies' websites, social media footprint, production capabilities, and ownership history to judge if they are a credible partner or acquisition target. • Ruthless Filtering: Narrow the pool down to a high-conviction shortlist of 1–5 targets that actually fit. Quality of judgment matters far more than volume. • Deal Briefing: Write clear, concise reasoning for each shortlisted company: what fits, what the strategic angle is, and what the potential risks are. • Founder-to-Founder Outreach: Draft highly professional initial outreach messages for the CEO to review, and manage the reply pipeline. • Future Growth: Over time, you will generate broader opportunity maps and industry overviews to identify unique scaling opportunities.
Benefits
• True Work-Life Balance: M&A work is notorious for intense deadlines and burnout. We don't operate that way. We value high-quality judgment over chaotic rushing. • First M&A Hire: You will lay the groundwork for our acquisition strategy, meaning massive potential for professional growth as our corporate development scales. • Direct Collaboration: You will act as a strategic partner directly to the CEO, avoiding corporate bureaucracy.
