About Role
Experience Level:Mid-Level - 5+ years of B2B sales experience in technology, consulting, or professional services, with established relationships across PE firms and portfolio companies.Proven ability to sell complex, outcome-driven solutions, manage multi-stakeholder sales cycles, and understand PE value-creation and EBITDA-focused priorities.
Role Overview:We are hiring a Sales Executive to drive new business for its Private Equity Services Practice, targeting mid-market private equity firms with portfolio companies in the manufacturing sector, generally in the $10 million to $500 million revenue range. This is a quota-carrying, relationship-driven role focused on building a pipeline of PE sponsors and operating partners and converting that pipeline into fund-level and portfolio-company engagements.
The role reports directly to the Head of Growth and works closely with delivery leadership across thinkAI, thinkOne, and thinkTeam to structure and close deals that tie technology investment to measurable EBITDA impact.
What You Will Sell
- Fund-level Center of Excellence engagements – standardized technology strategy, governance, and reporting frameworks deployed across a sponsor's manufacturing portfolio.
- thinkAI – AI-enabled process automation, predictive analytics, and AI-native product capabilities for portfolio companies.
- thinkOne – application modernization, systems consolidation, and data unification that reduces SaaS spend and removes vendor lock-in.
- thinkTeam – flexible, senior-caliber engineering and product talent that scales with portfolio company needs.
- Lifecycle engagements spanning operational diligence, Day One readiness, TSA execution, transformation initiatives, and exit preparation.
What You Will Do
- Build and manage a pipeline of mid-market PE firms and operating partners with active or planned investments in manufacturing.
- Develop relationships with deal teams, operating partners, and portfolio company executives to identify value-creation opportunities technology can address.
- Run the full sales cycle: prospecting, discovery, proposal development, and close, on both single-engagement and fund-level CoE deals.
- Partner with delivery leads to translate portfolio company needs into scoped, outcome-based engagements.
- Represent thinkbridge at PE-focused industry events, conferences, and sponsor meetings.
- Maintain accurate pipeline and forecast reporting in coordination with the Head of Growth.
Requirements:
Must have skills
- 5+ years of B2B sales experience selling technology, consulting, or professional services into private equity firms or PE-backed companies.
- Existing relationships with mid-market PE sponsors, operating partners, or portfolio company executives, ideally with exposure to manufacturing, industrials, or distribution.
- Working knowledge of how PE firms evaluate technology as a lever for value creation, including hold-period dynamics, EBITDA-linked reporting, and exit preparation.
- Demonstrated ability to sell complex, outcome-based engagements rather than transactional services.
- Comfort navigating both single-company deals and fund-level, multi-stakeholder sales processes.
- Willingness to travel for sponsor meetings and industry events.
Good to have skills
- Prior experience selling AI, application modernization, or technology talent solutions.
- Familiarity with private equity deal cycles, including diligence, integration, and portfolio operating models.
- Existing network within mid-market PE firms focused on manufacturing sector investments.
