Your role at Vertice:

Responsibilities:
- Identify private equity firms through your network, cold outreach, and referrals to generate new business opportunities for Vertice with portfolio companies.

- Attend industry events and conferences to represent Vertice and build our brand as a trusted PE service provider.
- Work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing and Sales to improve the Vertice for Private Equity offering.
Requirements:
- You have 5-10 years of experience working with PE firms, either at an expert network or other PE service provider. You may have worked in business development, account management, partnerships, or a similar role. You enjoy a role that combines both business development and relationship management.
- You have the gravitas and presence to engage with highly experienced professionals, holding your own with industry leaders who have decades of experience (Senior Value Creation leaders, CEOs/CFOs of portfolio companies).
- You have good commercial intuition, and the ability to build rapport, influence people and drive change, whether it’s with a senior exec or junior operator.
- You are an expert people person and your superpower is building and maintaining strong relationships. You love being client-facing, and you enjoy attending events and networking functions.
- You are highly results-driven, organized, and reliable.
Why join Vertice?
- Be a part of a fast-growing, innovative startup that is changing the way businesses buy and sell SaaS.
- Work with passionate and talented teams that value your contributions and expertise.
- Be part of a culture that promotes a growth mindset, transparency, collaboration, understanding and diversity.
