Careers at EMG

EMG was formed to be the best long-term home for independent companies that provide unique data, content or information focused on small but important niches and are owned and operated by founders. We refer to our business model as a “buy-and-build” strategy in the sense that we regularly acquire companies that fit our criteria, but also devote significant resources to helping those companies grow following the acquisition. Our approach is modeled after great, decentralized buy-and-build companies like Constellation Software, TransDigm, Danaher and others.

EMG has raised committed capital from a close-knit group of family offices, high net worth individuals, CEO/CFOs and institutions with a long-term time horizon. EMG was intentionally structured as an operating company – not a private equity firm, hedge fund, or venture capital firm – in order to have permanent capital and no requirement to exit, sell or flip any business we acquire. As a result, we are able to invest in the people, processes and initiatives required to grow companies over the long-term.

Senior M&A Leader

EMG is looking for a talented, senior M&A specialist to lead and ultimately build our acquisition group. Key responsibilities include:

Sourcing: Identifying acquisition candidates that fit the EMG acquisition criteria.
Outreach: Developing and executing a system for contacting potential acquisition targets and building/maintaining relationships.
Valuation, diligence and execution: Evaluating targets based on their investment merits, determining a valuation and leading operational, legal and accounting due diligence.
Building: Hiring additional team members to support the acquisition group.

Ideal candidates for the role will meet the following criteria:

3-15 years of work history at an acquisitive corporation, private equity firm or venture capital firm.
Experience with all aspects of an acquisition, ranging from sourcing to execution.
A passion for investing.
Good people skills.
Ability to manage people but also enthusiasm to roll up your sleeves and get things done.

Compensation and More

For strong performers, cash compensation will likely be significantly higher than similar options.
Equity in a fast-growing company marked at a reasonable valuation.
Report directly to the CEO with substantial autonomy and responsibility.
NYC-based candidates are preferred but remotely located candidates will be considered as well.
