Partner Development Lead — M&A Deal Sourcing
About the role
Sentinel Corporate Development is an M&A advisory firm that sources proprietary, off-market acquisition targets for roll-ups, consolidators, and their private equity sponsors. Our partners pay monthly retainers for dedicated sourcing capacity — we currently serve a growing base of platform buyers and have a proven engine behind them.
We’re hiring one person to grow that partner base, end to end.
The role
You own the entire motion. You’ll identify roll-ups and PE sponsors actively acquiring in their space, build your own target lists, reach out cold (email, phone, LinkedIn), pitch our deal-sourcing model to principals and corporate development leads, and close monthly retainer partnerships. No handoffs, no SDR feeding you — you find them, you sign them.
What you’ll do
- Build and work your own lists of acquisitive platforms and PE sponsors
- Open relationships from cold and run the pitch through to a signed retainer agreement
- Negotiate terms within clear guardrails we set together
- Hand new partners to our account team and move to the next one
- Work remotely, but full-time and fully dedicated — this is your only professional commitment
This is not a side engagement. The role is remote but it is a full-time, exclusive position with daily activity, a live pipeline reviewed weekly, and availability during North American business hours. If you’re balancing multiple clients or another job, this isn’t the fit.
You’re a fit if you
- Have sold B2B services, deal flow, or advisory relationships to executives or investors — and can point to deals you originated yourself, first touch to close
- Are comfortable on the phone with owners, principals, and corp dev leads
- Understand the basics of how roll-ups and PE platforms grow through acquisition (or can learn fast)
- Can commit to this full-time and exclusively — no other clients, jobs, or ventures
- Want commission-weighted comp with real upside and no cap
Compensation
Contract trial: monthly draw plus 25% of the first six months of retainer revenue on every partner you sign (a single $5k/mo partner pays you $7,500 in commission).
Convert to full-time on results: base salary + 15% of first-year retainer revenue per partner + trailing revenue share.
Realistic on-target earnings $150k+; uncapped.
To apply
Send a short note (one paragraph is fine) describing the largest deal or contract you personally closed where the first touch was yours. That’s the whole application.

About Sentinel Corporate Development
Sentinel Corporate Development is the buy-side origination practice of Wolfson Equity. We source, qualify, and introduce off-market acquisition targets for private equity funds, DSOs, MSOs, veterinary consolidators, and acquisitive platforms — any sector, any geography.
The engine: 1,000+ business owners reached every day, in 7+ languages, across four continents, from a 10M+ record data platform — with humans making every call. The output: 3–5 qualified calls per partner every week, 1–3 LOIs per partner every month, and 4–10 closings per partner every year, from our pipeline alone.
A qualified call means every criterion met and the owner said yes. Nothing softer counts — which is why we put it in writing: 20+ qualified calls in your first 90 days, or your retainer back.
One target, one partner. Your name never travels without written approval. And no partner's identity, mandate, or terms is ever disclosed — the policy is the product.
Since 2020: 1,000,000+ owners reached · 5,000+ qualified calls · 100+ transactions closed ($800K–$96M) · 95%+ of targets unrepresented · $500M+ deployed alongside partners.
