Job details

Job title: Deal Origination Analyst — Broker & Owner Sourcing Location: 100% remote; candidates must be based in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom and available for agreed overlap with North American business hours Employment: Full-time Salary: US$70,000–$85,000 base salary, plus an annual performance bonus of up to US$15,000, depending on ability and experience. Everis is hiring an early-career analyst to build the pipeline of businesses we may acquire. You will research markets and companies, build relationships with brokers, contact owners, qualify opportunities, do initial analysis, and hand the strongest deals to our acquisition team with clear notes. This is a sourcing and relationship role, not a traditional investment-banking role. Your main responsibility is high-quality deal flow. You will see evaluation, diligence, and transactions, but the deal team owns complex modelling, diligence, negotiation, and execution. Why join Everis • Work directly on acquisition strategy and see how a lead becomes a serious opportunity. • Speak with brokers, advisers, founders, and owners while learning what makes a business attractive and why owners sell. • Research varied industries, use modern AI and sourcing tools, take ownership quickly, and grow into broader acquisition responsibilities. About Everis Everis is an AI-native business group started by successful technology founders. We acquire small internet businesses and apps, improve them, and operate them for the long term. We believe exceptional people, strong systems, and AI can build an unusually effective company. What we offer • US$70,000–$85,000 base salary plus an annual performance bonus of up to US$15,000. • 100% remote work from the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. • Direct exposure to founders, brokers, owners, and real acquisition opportunities. • Meaningful responsibility early, with a path into senior deal origination, acquisitions, or broader operating work. If you want to learn how great businesses are found and directly help build Everis’s acquisition pipeline, we’d like to hear from you.

What you’ll do

What you’ll work on Broker and intermediary relationships • Find and build relationships with relevant brokers, advisers, marketplaces, and other deal sources. • Stay in regular contact, understand what they have coming to market, and follow up consistently. • Screen brokered and marketplace opportunities against Everis’s criteria and surface the strongest ones quickly. Owner sourcing and outreach • Build targeted lists of businesses and owners that may fit our criteria. • Find and verify decision-maker contacts, then run thoughtful outreach by phone, email, LinkedIn, referrals, and other relevant channels. • Lead business-specific outreach and initial dialogue with owners or founders about acquisition fit, motivations, succession, and a potential acquisition relationship; follow up professionally over what may be a long cycle. Research and qualification • Personally analyze small and mid-sized SaaS and mobile-app businesses, including revenue quality, retention, growth, profitability, customer concentration, and other relevant commercial factors. • Form and document an acquisition view: develop an investment rationale, recommend pursuing a target, or explain why the opportunity should be declined. • Gather high-level information on owner involvement, asking price, sale motivation, timing, and other factors needed to assess fit. Prepare short opportunity briefs and coordinate a clean handoff to the deal team. Pipeline ownership and improvement • Keep the acquisition CRM accurate, including contacts, source, stage, notes, next action, financial snippets, risks, and follow-up dates. • Track outreach, responses, meetings, qualified opportunities, handoffs, and funnel progression. Provide concise weekly reporting. • Use evidence and AI tools to improve research, outreach, recordkeeping, and the sourcing methods that produce the best opportunities.

Requirements

What we’re looking for We assess candidates through one of two routes: 1. Exceptional ability: one specific, verifiable accomplishment showing unusually difficult, selective, or high-impact performance, with your personal contribution clear. This may come from academics, building a business or product, commercial or professional results, research or public work, competitions, or another demanding merit-based selection. Previous acquisition or sales experience is not required for this route. 2. Highly relevant acquisition experience: concrete evidence that you personally completed all three of the following in a relevant acquisition context: • Analyzed small or mid-sized SaaS or mobile-app businesses. Your analysis may address revenue quality, retention, growth, profitability, customer concentration, or similar commercial factors. • Judged their attractiveness as acquisition targets. This means developing an investment rationale, recommending a target, or explaining why an opportunity should be declined. • Engaged owners or founders about potential acquisitions through business-specific outreach or dialogue about fit, motivations, succession, or a potential acquisition relationship. A completed acquisition is not required. Generic selling, cold calling, list building, financial modelling alone, or M&A experience unrelated to software businesses does not establish this acquisition-experience route. Across either route, you should communicate clearly, research unfamiliar businesses, maintain accurate records, follow through reliably, and handle confidential information with integrity. Comfort with spreadsheets, CRM systems, research databases, and AI tools is expected. The role is suitable for candidates with zero to three years of professional experience; evidence matters more than tenure or employer prestige.
