• Assist in the development and execution of long-term M&A strategies, identifying new opportunities and helping shape the company’s growth direction.
• Oversee the development of proprietary transaction pipeline and maintenance of outbound marketing effort through the CRM system (Salesforce).

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
