About The Position

Evergreen Services Group is a San Francisco-based holding company that acquires and operates B2B services companies across North America. Since its founding in late 2017, Evergreen has completed 100+ acquisitions across Managed IT Services, Cybersecurity, ERP Software Partners and Government Services. We are driven by a people-first mission to be the best home for businesses and their leaders, by marrying capital allocation with inspired operations. The Evergreen holding company team is comprised of 40+ professionals based in San Francisco who are focused on capital allocation, M&A, executive level hiring, strategic board leadership, and finance and accounting. Evergreen is a uniquely long-term oriented holding company that seeks to hold and grow businesses indefinitely rather than follow the 5-7 year holding period of a typical private equity fund. This allows us to take a truly long-term view on performance and people. Evergreen is backed by Alpine Investors , a leading private equity firm focused on the services and software industries with $16B+ in AUM. Overview Evergreen Services Group is a holding company committed to acquiring services companies and becoming a permanent home for them. Our mission is to marry capital allocation with inspired operations to create the world’s best home for businesses and their leaders. We acquire managed IT companies, ERP software partners, and government services companies. We have a portfolio of 150+ companies in the US, Canada, UKI and ANZ. We are looking for a San Francisco based deal origination professional to help us grow and lead our inorganic growth engine in a new industry, and find the next best businesses and their leaders to partner with.
