[Hiring] Deal Origination Analyst @Everis

Role Description

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 and qualify opportunities.
• Conduct 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.

Qualifications

• Smart, curious, and able to understand unfamiliar businesses quickly.
• Excellent spoken and written communication; credible with experienced brokers and owners without finance jargon.
• Comfortable making cold calls, sending outbound messages, hearing no, and following up.
• Highly organized and reliable, with accurate notes and strong follow-through.
• Strong research judgment and basic financial and commercial literacy, or the ability to learn quickly.
• High integrity and care with confidential information.
• Comfortable with spreadsheets, CRM systems, research databases, and AI tools.
• Motivated, proactive, resilient, and able to work without constant supervision.
• Zero to three years of professional experience. Relevant sourcing, sales, research, brokerage, consulting, or entrepreneurial experience is useful but not required.

Requirements

• 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.
• 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.
• Hold initial conversations, understand each owner’s goals, and follow up professionally over what may be a long cycle.
• Understand what each business does, how it makes money, who its customers are, and what makes it defensible.
• Gather high-level information on revenue, profit, growth, recurring revenue, customer concentration, owner involvement, asking price, sale motivation, and timing.
• Assess fit, prepare short opportunity briefs and notes, and coordinate a clean handoff to the deal team.
• 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.

Benefits

• 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 or Canada.
• 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.
