Job description

Certified Contractor Role Initio Sphere — Private Capital Ecosystem – https://initiosphere.org Compensation: Deal-based earnings + performance bonuses (typically $1,000–$10,000+ per closed transaction, based on deal size and role)

About Initio Sphere

Initio Sphere is a private capital ecosystem where capital meets talent. We connect fund managers, investors, and operators with high-quality deal flow, analyst support, and institutional infrastructure across the private markets.

Our platform is built for professionals who want real exposure, real upside, and real credibility—not job boards, not spreadsheets, and not unpaid sourcing.

Role Overview

Initio Sphere is onboarding Transaction Opportunities Scouts to identify, originate, and introduce qualified investment opportunities to our investor and fund manager network.

This is not an employment role. Scouts operate as independent contractors, activated through a verification and approval process.

Once approved, Transaction Opportunities Scouts:

• Source and submit qualified off-market or proprietary transaction opportunities
• Work directly with capital allocators and sponsors on live deals
• Earn transaction-based compensation for deals that successfully close
• Build a verified deal history and reputation within the Initio Sphere ecosystem

This role is ideal for professionals already close to deal flow, including operators, brokers, intermediaries, advisors, and well-networked professionals.

What You’ll Do (Approval-Based)

Approved Transaction Opportunities Scouts may:

• Source proprietary or semi-proprietary investment opportunities
• Introduce transactions to Initio Sphere’s investor and sponsor network
• Provide high-level deal context (asset type, structure, economics, investment thesis)
• Coordinate initial introductions between deal principals and capital partners
• Support early-stage diligence handoff to analysts (modeling and underwriting handled separately)
• Scouts are not responsible for underwriting, financial modeling, or capital raising.

Based on approval, Transaction Opportunities Scouts may submit opportunities across:

• Private equity and growth equity transactions
• Operating businesses and special situations
• Structured or opportunistic investments

Deal categories are approved based on experience, access, and sourcing credibility.

Compensation & Economics

• Scouts earn success-based compensation only
• Typical earnings range from $1,000 to $10,000+ per closed transaction
• Compensation is paid upon successful deal close and fee collection
• Exact economics vary by deal size, structure, and Scout role
• No earnings caps for consistently high-quality opportunity flow

How Scouts Get Activated

• Submit a Transaction Opportunities Scout application and background details
• Complete verification and deal category approval
• Get activated within the Initio Sphere platform
• Begin submitting qualified opportunities to the network

There is no cold applying to funds and no blind pitching. Approved deals are introduced through curated, platform-driven channels.
