Build and manage the firm’s CRM system for marketing automation, pipeline tracking, and client communications.
Partner with leadership to refine brand messaging, visual identity, and PR strategy.

Business Development & Client Sourcing

Meet regularly with other professionals in the region to further develop the Commonwealth M&A brand.
Attend conferences, trade shows, and networking events to represent the firm and build relationships with business owners and advisors.

Assist in designing and refining pitch decks, one-pagers, and other marketing materials.
Collaborate with deal professionals to highlight the firm’s track record and market insights in compelling visual formats.

Who You Are

Comfortable with autonomy, ambiguity, and wearing many hats.
A polished communicator who can represent the firm professionally to clients, media, and partners.
Proficient in CRM platforms (HubSpot, Pipedrive, etc.), content management tools, and presentation software.

Qualifications

5+ years of experience in marketing, business development, or a related growth role.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Willingness to go above and beyond, roll up the sleeves, and wear multiple hats.
