Remote Business Broker / M&A Associate

About the role

The best business sales never hit BizBuySell as a blind listing. They start as a conversation: an owner who's ready, a buyer with a thesis, and someone in the middle who can keep it confidential and keep it moving. That's the person we're hiring.

Responsibilities

• Answer: Who's actually for sale (even if it's not listed)? Who's a real buyer vs. a window shopper?
• What does each side need to take a next step?
• Work the sell side — find and build trust with owners who may want to sell, even if they're not listed yet
• Work the buy side — stay close to qualified buyers, searchers, and operators who actually close
• Sit in the middle — keep deals confidential, represent both sides' real needs, and move conversations forward
• Qualify hard — real sellers vs. tire-kickers; real buyers vs. "send me everything"
• Run phone-first follow-up — consistent, discreet, and persistent; this is how business deals happen
• Keep the book clean — log owners, buyers, conversations, and status so nothing and no one falls through the cracks

Requirements

• Experience as a business broker, M&A associate/analyst, sell-side advisor, or anyone who has sat in the middle of buying/selling operating businesses
• Relationship-driven and discreet — owners talk when they trust you; buyers close when you don't waste their time
• Comfortable in the middle of a deal — you can keep both sides moving without oversharing
• Phone-comfortable — you'd rather call than email, and you're good at it
• Organized and self-directed — you keep your own book and follow-up tight without daily check-ins

Qualifications

• Must have experience in operating businesses, not real estate
• Must not be a BizBuySell poster
• Must not be a solo brokerage

Skills

• Relationship-driven and discreet
• Confident in the middle of a deal
• Phone-comfortable
• Organized and self-directed

Benefits

A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. We're also interested in long-term "side gig" relationships, if that's what you're into—in our experience, a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.

Pay

Up to $160,000+ OTE (base plus uncapped commission) for full-time performers; cash, commission, and equity components to be negotiated. Given the flexible commitment model, comp will be structured accordingly — fractional, hourly, or performance-only arrangements welcome for the right relationships and deal flow.

Schedule

Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
Flexible Time: Can do full-time, part-time, side-gig (off-hours), or fractional (contract).
