Business Development Associate

About Axial

Axial is a platform connecting and serving buyers and sellers of privately held companies. CEOs, investment bankers, private equity investors and middle market lenders join Axial to source M&A and growth capital deals and partners. Since our inception, Axial has facilitated over $25B in total transaction volume.  Axial is backed by First Round, Redpoint Ventures, Comcast Ventures, and Edison Partners.

The Role

This role is laser-focused on Axial’s highest priority objective: to grow the number of M&A and capital raise transactions that launch on our platform.

This is not a typical sales position. It blends sales and business development, requires a mix of individual performance and cross-team collaboration, and requires you to be great at account acquisition and account growth. You will be challenged to sharpen your sales skills, operate in a fast-paced start-up environment, and be part of a team that is transforming one of the largest private capital markets in the world.
