Director, Business Development – Private Equity

Some of 829's best client relationships started the same way: a private equity sponsor brought us into a portfolio company, we delivered, and the story spread. We're now turning that pattern into a channel of its own — and we're looking for the person to build it.

As Director of Business Development – Private Equity, you'll work directly with our CEO and founder, and alongside our capital partners at AEA, to open the PE market for 829. You'll help decide who we go after, what we offer them, and how we show up. Then you'll go do it: building relationships with sponsors, operating partners, and value-creation teams, getting introduced into their portfolios, and generating a steady monthly flow of qualified opportunities. When an opportunity is real, you'll team up with our sales leaders to carry it through to a signed program.

Your scoreboard is simple: pipeline. Your job is to open doors and fill the top of the funnel with sponsor-backed companies that need what 829 does. You'll carry a monthly pipeline goal, and your commission is tied to it. Closing is something we do together — sourcing and opening is yours.

If you've spent years in a quota seat inside someone else's motion and want to build one — with a founder who'll give you room, a capital partner who'll open doors with you, and a clear way to know you're winning — this is that role.<
