About Axial

Axial is the trusted online M&A deal sourcing platform for professional acquirers and sellers of privately held small businesses. We have built a pioneering digital transaction platform that radically improves the speed, confidentiality, and success by which small businesses hire M&A advisors, engage with potential acquirers, and achieve successful exits.

In 2025, over 13,000 lower middle market businesses pursued M&A via the Axial platform, leading to over 1,000,000 platform connections, 75,000+ signed NDAs, and hundreds of millions of dollars in successfully closed transactions (https://www.axial.net/closed-deals/).

What will you be doing? 

The go-to-market (GTM) team is Axial’s sales and account management organization, focused on winning new business and growing our existing relationships across the “sell-side” (investment banks, M&A advisors, business brokers, and business owners) and “buy-side” (private equity, family offices, corporate development, independent private equity sponsors & search funds). The team comprises account executive and account management professionals responsible for their patch of prospective and/or existing accounts.

As a member of the GTM team, your primary responsibility is to execute the key tasks that support growth across our buyside and sellside members—this includes proactively engaging with prospects and existing customers via phone and email, managing critical processes, and ensuring our systems remain accurate and up to date.

Each interaction that members have with Axial should be held to the highest standards, resulting in positive resolutions and outcomes for our members. The Customer Success team is also responsible for proactive outreach to Axial members whose usage of the platform is waning or from whom we require additional information.
