  • Previous high-performance in Business Development, winning in an autonomous role or, prior success in other walks of life outside professional BD experience, such as entrepreneurship, will be considered.

  • Advanced verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence and executive presence to speak with CEOs, M&A advisors, corporate development, private equity and venture capital professionals.

  • Organized, detail oriented, and able to work variable hours.
