About The Position

BizScout is a marketplace for buying and selling small businesses, connecting buyers who want their next acquisition with owners who are ready to sell, across every industry and deal size. We have more than 200,000 registered users and we're growing quickly. Private Client is our advisory service for serious buyers. When someone comes to us ready to acquire a business, we pair them with a dedicated advisor who helps them find the right deal and close it. That service depends on supply: we need great businesses in the pipeline before any buyer can buy them, and building that pipeline is the role we're hiring for.
