Sourcing Associate

Atomic

6d • $100,000 - $120,000 • Remote

About The Position

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.

Requirements

• 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 Haves

• Domain experience in any of our target verticals or a prior small software exit.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Attend 8–12 industry-specific trade shows per year. This is where the deals live.
• Qualify ruthlessly against the buy box. 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.
