Senior Vice President Business Development Category Location New York City, New York $240,000 - $300,000 Job Reference 249692 Job Description SVP / VP, Business Development Northeast U.S. | Heavy Regional Travel Required | Heavy Regional Travel Required We are working with a private equity-backed, multi-site healthcare services company to find a senior Business Development leader who will build and run the company's acquisition pipeline. This is a highly visible role reporting into the executive team, with direct exposure to the CEO, Board, and sponsor. The company is in an active growth phase, executing a disciplined buy-and-build acquisition strategy across its core Northeast markets, with the capital in place to support a sustained, high-volume pace of small to mid-sized transactions. This is fundamentally an origination role: the mandate is to build a proprietary pipeline from scratch, not manage inbound flow. What You'll Do Own origination end to end: build and personally run a pipeline of acquisition targets through direct outreach, existing relationships, and intermediary networks. Develop and maintain credible, trusted relationships with brokers, investment banks, and other intermediaries active in the company's target markets. This is a relationship-driven role; the company needs someone who is already known and trusted in that ecosystem. Build direct relationships with prospective sellers and represent the company as a differentiated, credible partner of choice. Manage transactions from first conversation through valuation, LOI, diligence, and close, working closely with finance, legal, and operations. Build and present financial analyses (valuation, deal structure, return scenarios) to support investment decisions, and partner with finance on underwriting. Own the team's deal tracking and pipeline reporting; bring rigor and forecasting discipline to a function that needs it rebuilt. Manage a small internal team plus third-party sourcing resources. What We're Looking For Meaningful experience in corporate development, M&A, or business development within a multi-site, private equity-backed services model, ideally in a buy-and-build/roll-up context. A true originator with a demonstrated track record of personally building and converting a proprietary deal pipeline, not simply managing deals that arrive. Existing relationships with brokers and investment banks active in lower middle market healthcare services M&A. Credibility with intermediaries is essential to this role. Strong financial and transactional fundamentals: comfortable leading valuation, deal structuring, and diligence, and able to hold your own with a PE sponsor and CFO. A track record of full-cycle ownership, staying engaged with a relationship and a transaction from first call through close. Willingness to travel heavily and spend real time in-market building relationships face to face. #J-18808-Ljbffr
