Why this grade
This listing scored 66/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Role specificity 6 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
Full-Time Senior Business Development
We are a stealth vertical AI holding company building the world's largest distributor of AI to industries who will never buy it directly from model labs.
We acquire hyper-niche vertical software companies serving the 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
You are the tip of the spear. Your job is to find, engage, and build multi-year trust relationships with software founders in 25+ niche verticals so that when they decide to sell, we are the only call they make.
This is not a warm-inbound seat. It's not investment banking. It's 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. Build and maintain a proprietary pipeline of 2,000+ target companies across our buy box, mapped by vertical, ARR, ownership structure, and readiness-to-sell signals.
-
Run heavy outbound. 100+ meaningful founder touches per week - cold email, LinkedIn, phone, handwritten notes, in-person visits. We measure conversations, not activity theater.
-
Build 3-year relationships. Most founders in our verticals sell once. Your win rate is a function of being the trusted party in their inbox for years before the LOI conversation happens.
-
Show up in the physical world. Attend 8–12 industry-specific trade shows per year. This is where the deals live.
-
Qualify ruthlessly against the buy box (below). No happy ears. If a target doesn't fit, kill it early.
-
Quarterback deals from first call to signed LOI. Financial pre-diligence, valuation triangulation, LOI drafting support with the M&A lead.
-
Leverage our proprietary distribution. We already reach 50K+ founders and operators through owned channels - your job is to convert that audience into founder conversations.
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
