Founding Business Development Representative

At Centari, we believe that in high-stakes dealmaking, the competitive edge lies within unlocking your firm's private deal data. Centari is building the deal intelligence platform for the future of law and finance, moving beyond simple automation and into a world of data-driven dealmaking. Our proprietary Deal Reasoning Engine transforms a firm’s goldmine of complex documents into strategic insights, empowering global deal teams to negotiate with the full force of their organization’s collective knowledge.
Our platform spans M&A, credit finance, fund formation, and real estate. Every deal a firm runs through Centari makes the next one sharper, giving deal teams a clearer view of the market than anyone on the other side of the table.
Today, Ropes & Gray, Willkie, Fried Frank, Wilson Sonsini, and practices across the AmLaw 25 and Magic Circle rely on Centari. We're backed by GTMfund, Jeremy Kranz (former DoorDash board), Andy Appelbaum (Seamless), Jack Altman, South Park Commons, and Recall Capital.
We are drawn to complexity because that is where true innovation happens. If you’re a builder who thrives in ambiguity and operates with radical ownership, we’d love to meet you.
