Client Solutions Associate

About the role

BluWave is the Business Builders’ Network for Private Equity-grade service provider needs. We're looking for proactive, sharp, and self-motivated individuals for our Client Solutions Associate position. This is an operations-focused role that does not involve financial modeling, analysis, or reporting responsibilities. You'll succeed by managing multiple projects simultaneously, collaborating with cross-functional teams, clients, and service providers, and ensuring clear communication throughout project lifecycles.

At BluWave, you’ll gain intimate exposure to how businesses are built and developed, actively supporting clients’ key value creation initiatives—experience most people don’t get until earning an MBA.

Responsibilities

• Effectively and professionally interact with senior-level private equity, venture capital investors, and portfolio company executives to understand business challenges and explore solutions in a results-oriented environment.
• Spend a large portion of the day interacting with clients and solution providers, supporting multiple projects simultaneously.
• Perform original research to map networks and identify third-party resources to help clients assess opportunities to build and grow their companies.
• Communicate efficiently over the phone and through email under tight deadlines without missing important details.
• Remain flexible and willing to take on additional responsibilities as part of a fast-growing, collaborative team.

Key characteristics

• A good person who loves to win and believes in “we” more than “me.”
• Self-motivated with a strong ability to work both independently and in teams to meet deadlines.
• A keen ability to ask questions, explore, and understand a wide variety of business challenges.
• Extremely well-organized, detail-oriented, and highly comfortable with multitasking.
• A natural ability to build fast rapport over phone/email, assess third-party quality and skill, and leverage professional networks.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.

Requirements

• 4-year undergraduate degree from a top university.
• 1-3 years of professional work experience in recruiting, business development, or sales (recruiting experience preferred; postgraduate degree may offset 0 years of experience).
• Experience serving private equity firms and their portfolio companies is a plus but not required.
• Strong experience performing internet research, using databases such as PitchBook and CRM systems, and leveraging community networks in dynamic start-up environments.
• Preference for candidates currently living in Nashville, though relocation is open for discussion.
• Must have already graduated and be available to hire immediately.

Benefits

BluWave offers a competitive benefits package, a supportive work environment, and opportunities for professional growth as part of a pioneering market network reshaping how businesses connect with top-tier service providers.

Schedule

Full time: in-office Monday–Thursday; option to work remotely on Fridays.
