M&A Sourcing Internship

Summary

Perry Street Partners helps investors and business owners buy and sell small businesses. We work with independent sponsors, acquisition platforms, and other buyers pursuing acquisitions across essential services industries.

We're looking for an outgoing, motivated intern to work directly with our founders and help source acquisition opportunities for active client mandates. You'll receive weekly pay for time worked and bonuses on deal milestones.

What you'll do

• Call business owners to introduce our buyers and learn whether they would consider a sale or partnership.
• Follow up with owners who respond to our email campaigns and advertising.
• Learn about each business, assess its fit with our clients' acquisition criteria, and coordinate introductory meetings.
• Support company research, deal materials, and other projects across our buy-side and sell-side work.

What we provide

We provide the infrastructure you need: prospect lists, contact data, calling software, CRM, scripts, training, and ongoing coaching. You'll have clear priorities and regular feedback from the founders.

Who we're looking for

You're curious about businesses, comfortable starting conversations, and consistent about following through. Prior sales or cold-calling experience is helpful, but we value initiative, coachability, and strong communication skills. No prior M&A experience is required. Owner outreach is the core of this role. Expect to spend a substantial portion of your time making calls and following up, with dedicated time to learn how acquisition opportunities are evaluated and progressed.

What you'll gain

• Direct experience speaking with business owners and sourcing real acquisition opportunities.
• Exposure to buyer strategy, business evaluation, seller conversations, and live deal processes.
• Performance bonuses tied to signed letters of intent (LOIs) and closed transactions you help source.
• The opportunity to continue with Perry Street in a longer-term capacity based on performance and mutual fit.
