Summary

Business Development Representative (International Private Equity) NextNow is an AI product studio run by a former Tesla, Microsoft and Google executive that partners with private equity firms and their portfolio companies to identify and build AI solutions that create measurable EBITDA improvement. We’re looking for a business development professional to expand our relationships with private equity firms outside the United States. This is a true hunter role. You’ll be expected to identify prospects, create outreach campaigns, start conversations, and schedule meetings with senior decision makers. We are looking for someone who thrives working independently and enjoys creating opportunities from scratch. Responsibilities * Research and identify private equity firms across Europe, Canada, Australia, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and other international markets. * Build your own prospect lists. We will not provide lead lists. * Identify Operating Partners, Managing Directors, Portfolio Operations leaders, and other key decision makers. * Execute thoughtful outbound outreach through LinkedIn, email, and other channels. * Qualify prospects and schedule meetings for the NextNow leadership team. * Maintain an organized CRM and continuously improve outreach based on results. Ideal Candidate * Speak and write fluent English. * Have experience with outbound B2B business development. * Are comfortable engaging senior executives. * Are highly organized, resourceful, and self-motivated. * Require minimal supervision and enjoy taking ownership. * Have experience selling technology, AI, consulting, SaaS, or professional services. Experience working with private equity firms is a strong plus. How Success Is Measured This is a results-oriented role. Success is measured primarily by your ability to generate qualified meetings with private equity decision makers. We value outcomes over activity. The number of emails or LinkedIn messages you send is far less important than consistently creating high-quality meetings. Proposal Instructions To be considered, please include a video (approximately 2 minutes) with your proposal. In your video, please: * Introduce yourself and tell us where you’re located. * Describe your experience generating outbound meetings. * Explain how you independently source prospects. * Share an example of a successful outreach campaign you’ve personally managed. * Tell us why you’d be successful representing NextNow. Also include your hourly rate in your written proposal. Applications submitted without a video will not be considered.
