Deal Origination Analyst — Broker & Owner Sourcing
100% remote; candidates must be based in the United Kingdom, United States, or Canada and available during North American business hours
Full-time
Compensation
US$70,000–$85,000 base salary, plus an annual performance bonus of up to US$15,000, depending on ability and experience.
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, qualify opportunities, do 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.
Work directly on acquisition strategy and see how a lead becomes a serious opportunity.
Speak with brokers, advisers, founders, and owners while learning what makes a business attractive and why owners sell.
Research varied industries, use modern AI and sourcing tools, take ownership quickly, and grow into broader acquisition responsibilities.
Everis is a software holding company with $27 million in annual recurring revenue. We buy B2B SaaS companies from the founders who built them and keep them permanently. We invest our own capital and operate without the pressure of a fund exit timeline. Our remote team strengthens engineering and product, pricing, go-to-market, retention, revenue operations, and back-office systems across the portfolio.
Broker and intermediary relationships
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.
Owner sourcing and outreach
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.
Research and qualification
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.
Pipeline ownership and improvement
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.

Employer posted:
This role is designed for candidates with zero to three years of professional experience. Prior acquisition or sales experience is not required when a candidate demonstrates exceptional ability. Lack of explicit SaaS or mobile-app experience is not disqualifying when transferable acquisition analysis, target judgment, and owner, founder, or broker engagement are clear. Generic sales results, outreach volume, list building, financial modelling, credentials, or employer prestige do not establish a strong match on their own.
US$70,000–$85,000 base salary plus an annual performance bonus of up to US$15,000.
100% remote work from the United Kingdom, 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.
