Compensation

Full Description

DO NOT REACH OUT DIRECTLY TO QUIRE OR ANY OF ITS TEAM. QUIRE WILL REACH OUT TO CANDIDATES DIRECTLY WITH NEXT STEPS IF YOU ARE A FIT FOR THE ROLE. ABOUT QUIRE At Quire, we are builders and innovators. Quire operates at the intersection of craftsmanship and strategic finance, specializing in media, technology, and consumer convergence—value creation where content, technology, and commerce meet. We serve enterprise leaders: public and private founders/CEOs, boards, corporate owners, and select PE/VC sponsors and family offices. Our standard is atelier-level quality, speed, and discretion. Our work focuses on two strategic areas. • Innovation & Growth: Our innovation and growth teams build strategic plans to support revenue and market share growth, including relevant financial and valuation analysis. Innovation & Growth clients seek ways to grow much faster, achieve deeper competitive differentiation, and demand a clearer sense of potential exit valuations. • Restructuring: Our restructuring teams eliminate costs, build new strategies, and support repositioning or relaunch. Restructuring clients typically have failed to achieve strategic plans and goals, and, often, have limited capital and time to build and execute a new strategic and financial plan. Our projects are all highly structured and use teams made up of remote consultants who are domain experts. Consultants are compensated based on expertise and experience. Quire pays a premium of 25% - 40% above market on average to ensure the best talent. Quire’s clients are highly sophisticated and demand excellence. To ensure we are always raising our standards, Quire maintains values that define our work and culture. • Exceptional Quality. We strive in all instances to contribute ideas, recommendations, and work product that is of exceptional quality. Quire’s standard is often higher than both that of our clients and the market. • Focus on Client Value. Our strategic solutions must deliver clear, quantifiable value to clients. We achieve this through how we connect innovative strategic ideas with world-class financial and valuation analysis. • Creative Scarcity. Quire deeply values creativity and appreciates its scarcity. We maintain space to nurture creativity and are constantly pursuing ways to apply new creative solutions and technologies to solve problems and build new products and forms of content. All new consultants who hope to work with Quire must provide information on how your prior work, key skills, and values align with Quire's requirements. Business Development Manager (Client Development – Openers) You will open new executive relationships with financial sponsors—General Partners/MDs, Operating Partners, Portfolio Company CEOs/CFOs, and family office principals—within our core sectors (media, technology, consumer). Working directly with the CEO and Head of Business Development, you will translate Quire’s strategy and POV into qualified first meetings. You are not responsible for negotiating or closing. Your mandate: research, target, and engage the right funds and principals; align on thesis fit and portfolio needs; and handoff warm conversations with crisp context, notes, and next steps. This is a premium opener role: rigorous research, precise writing, and discipline in sponsor mapping—zero spray-and-pray. This role requires close collaboration with senior executives. Candidates must consistently exhibit exceptional self-discipline and professionalism, using comprehensive data and thorough research to substantiate their strategies and inform decisions. You will play a pivotal role in translating executive vision into actionable strategies, ensuring alignment with the company's ambitious goals.

Key Responsibilities: • Sponsor Mapping & ICP Definition: Build coverage maps across PE funds, family offices, and VCs (GP/MD, Operating Partners, relevant portfolio leaders). Segment by strategy (platform vs. add-on roll-ups, special situations, venture growth), fund stage, and sector theses. • Outbound & Sequencing (Quality > Volume) Write and run multi-channel sequences (email + LinkedIn + targeted warm intros) in a premium voice. Tailor messages to fund theses, portfolio triggers, and hold-period realities; reference case studies where relevant. • Thesis & Portfolio Alignment Identify sponsor pain points (portfolio transformation, bolt-on sourcing, carve-outs, restructuring, revenue acceleration). Propose sponsor-ready POVs and curated examples that fit their investment lens. • First Meetings & Briefing Kits Secure and prep intro calls for CEO/Head of BD. Draft briefing notes with hypothesis, trigger, stakeholders, desired outcomes, and potential portfolio intros. • Event & Network Leverage Convert panels, salon dinners, and selective sponsorships into targeted lists and meeting programs for sponsor principals and operating partners; follow up with tailored artifacts. • CRM & Reporting Keep immaculate CRM hygiene (roles, notes, next steps, timestamps). Report weekly on funnel health, learning, and sponsor feedback. • Handoff, Not Close Transition qualified conversations with full context. Stay engaged to support momentum; closing is owned by principals. KPIs: • New sponsor intros (per month/quarter) within ICP. • Qualified first meetings held (CEO/Head of BD present). • Conversion to next step (% of first meetings advancing). • Portfolio intros generated per sponsor relationship. • Time-to-first-meeting from initial contact. • Data quality (title accuracy, valid contacts, complete notes). Qualifications: • Bachelor’s degree (Master’s or relevant certifications a plus). • 3–5+ years opening relationships with financial sponsors (PE/VC/family offices) or sponsor-facing roles in advisory, banking, or B2B services. • Exceptional research and executive-grade writing; fluent in translating strategy into concise outreach aligned to fund theses and portfolio needs. • Professional persistence with GP/MDs and Operating Partners; strong judgment and discretion. • Tools: LinkedIn Sales Navigator, CRM (HubSpot/Salesforce); enrichment/databases such as PitchBook, Preqin, CapIQ, Crunchbase, Apollo/Lusha/Clearbit. • Strong presence on email/LinkedIn and in first-call settings; impeccable notes/briefs. • Familiarity with Quire’s case-study caliber work and premium brand standards. COMPENSATION (CONTRACT) $65–$75/hr, plus attribution bonuses for accepted introductions/qualified opportunities and a closed-won kicker tied to opportunities you originate (details provided in the offer).

Skills Test and Personality Assessment: Selected candidates will undergo a skills test and personality assessment to ensure alignment with the role and our company culture. You will be working as a contractor, not an employee. The work is highly complex, fast-paced, and requires the utmost skill and professionalism. This position is remote, with no travel required. Quire is an Equal Opportunity Contractor committed to a diversified and inclusive workforce. We value you, your skills, and your ability to contribute to our clients over any other factors.
