Job description

Private Equity Business Development Associate

The Business Development Associate will be responsible for driving this firm's proprietary deal origination efforts alongside the Managing Director of Business Development. Taking a proactive, high-activity approach, this individual will identify and reach founders and CEOs of lower-middle-market companies and converting early conversations into off-market investment opportunities. This is not a traditional BD role focused on banker and intermediary relationships; it is a direct sourcing role for someone who is entrepreneurial, comfortable picking up the phone, and eager to build a career in private equity.

Key Responsibilities

Direct Sourcing & Outreach

  • Build and maintain targeted lists of lower-middle-market companies in Iron Path's core sectors through systematic research and market mapping.
  • Conduct proactive outreach cold calling and emailing founders and CEOs to introduce Iron Path and generate initial conversations.
  • Attend industry conferences and networking events to build direct relationships with business owners in target sectors.
  • Fill the MD's calendar with proprietary, off-market opportunities and manage the top-of-funnel sourcing pipeline with discipline.

Research & Market Intelligence

  • Research investment themes and develop sector-specific company lists aligned with Iron Path's strategy.
  • Track industry trends and competitive dynamics to sharpen targeting and inform outreach approach.
  • Maintain a proprietary database of target companies and relationship history.

Firm Initiatives & Coordination

  • Provide regular reporting on sourcing activity, pipeline status, and conversion metrics.
  • Coordinate with the investment team as proprietary conversations mature into active opportunities.
  • As the firm grows, support Iron Path's "full immersion" model by extending direct sourcing capabilities to portfolio companies.

Professional Experience & Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • 12 years of experience in a sales, business development, or outreach-intensive role private equity background not required; non-traditional backgrounds strongly encouraged (pharma/med device sales, tech/SaaS sales, expert networks, executive search).
  • Demonstrated comfort with cold calling, outbound prospecting, and rejection hustle and persistence are core to this role.
  • Strong research and organizational skills; ability to build target lists, manage a high-volume pipeline, and track activity rigorously.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset comfortable building from scratch, operating with ambiguity, and working without a defined playbook.
  • Genuine interest in private equity and a long-term orientation toward building a career in the industry.
  • Low ego, collaborative, team-oriented culture fit is as important as skill set in a small, tight-knit firm.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with professional presence engaging founders and senior executives.

Salary is competitive, depending on experience.
