Summary Generated by Built In
We are hiring an M&A Origination Associate in Latin America to identify, qualify, and build relationships with owners of durable small and mid-sized businesses. The work is research-heavy and conversation-driven: build a market map, find the right owner, earn a response, and determine whether a business fits our acquisition criteria.

Responsibilities

• Build sector and geography-specific target lists using company databases, public records, industry directories, and original research.

• Identify owners and decision-makers, verify contact information, and maintain clean CRM records.

• Run thoughtful outbound sequences across email, LinkedIn, and phone without relying on generic mass outreach.

• Conduct first calls with owners; understand motivation, succession, business quality, and timing.

• Prepare concise company summaries and hand qualified opportunities to the investment team.

• Track reply, meeting, qualification, and conversion rates; improve messages and channels weekly.

Requirements

• Based in Latin America and fluent in English; Spanish or Portuguese fluency is strongly preferred.

• 1–3 years in M&A sourcing, search funds, private equity, investment banking, B2B sales, recruiting, or research-intensive outbound work.

• Strong written communication, careful research habits, and comfort speaking with business owners.

• Excellent spreadsheet and CRM discipline.

Helpful but not required

• Experience with PitchBook, Capital IQ, Grata, Apollo, Clay, HubSpot, Affinity, or similar tools.

• Familiarity with lower-middle-market acquisitions, search funds, or founder succession.
