Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Remote Choice Full time R250 000 - R750 000 per year

Our client is an emerging investment platform focused on the healthcare sector. They are seeking a motivated Business Development Representative to join their growing team. The firm operates with a lean, start-up mindset — offering the opportunity to take on wide-ranging responsibilities across lead generation, deal sourcing and relationship management.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, hands-on environment and wants to play a direct role in building an ambitious, globally minded investment platform. For high-performing individuals, there's strong potential for progression into senior roles.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deal Origination & Pipeline Development

At the core of this role is proactive deal sourcing. The successful candidate will:

  • Conduct research to identify potential acquisition targets through market mapping and sector analysis.
  • Engage directly with business owners, intermediaries, and advisors to establish and maintain deal flow.
  • Represent the firm professionally across all external communications, including calls, emails, and meetings.
  • This is a relationship-driven, outbound role — perfect for someone who enjoys business development and the challenge of uncovering new opportunities.
  • Relationship & Stakeholder Engagement
  • The successful candidate will develop and nurture long-term connections with:
  • Founders, CEOs, and business owners.
  • Brokers, consultants, and other intermediaries.
  • They will also learn to articulate the firm's investment philosophy — effectively communicating its value proposition to potential partners and acquisition targets.
  • Pipeline Management & Opportunity Assessment

Responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining the CRM and deal tracking systems to ensure visibility and accuracy across the pipeline.
  • Performing preliminary analysis of opportunities using key commercial and financial indicators such as revenue growth, profitability, and scalability.
  • This function requires a balance of analytical thinking, attention to detail, and strategic prioritization.
  • Deal Execution Support

The successful candidate will assist the investment team with:

  • Market research, company profiling, and preparation of presentation materials.
  • Early-stage analysis and coordination of due diligence efforts.
  • While not directly leading execution, the role provides end-to-end exposure to the investment lifecycle — from outreach to negotiation.

Ideal Candidate Profile
Experience:
1–3 years in deal origination, business development, sales, or lead generation.

Skills:
Strong communication abilities, organizational discipline, analytical mindset, and commercial curiosity.

Personality:
Proactive self-starter who excels in an autonomous, fast-moving environment.

Interest Areas:
Genuine enthusiasm for the healthcare sector.

Career Growth
Success in this position means:

  • Consistently identifying qualified acquisition opportunities.
  • Building a strong network of trusted industry relationships.
  • Contributing directly to the expansion of the firm's deal pipeline and strategic footprint.
  • As the organization grows, high-performing individuals will have the opportunity to step into more senior or leadership-focused roles
