2. Strong network of private equity fund-level talent and operating professionals who decide or influence decisions on which recruiting firms are used by the fund and portfolio companies
3. Mature business professional with exceptional communication and relationship-building skills at the executive level
4. Self-motivated, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to work independently to prospect, conduct outreach, and secure meetings with potential clients for Avenir’s leadership team

What We Offer:

1. Commission-based compensation – Earn a percentage of the revenue you generate, with no cap on earnings
2. Fully remote role – Work from anywhere with flexible hours
3. High-growth potential – Be part of an expanding recruiting agency in a very large market
4. Supportive team environment – Work closely with experienced entrepreneurs and recruiters to drive client success
