About this role

🚀 About Fluent Software Group
Fluent Software Group is part of Valsoft Corporation, a global operator of vertical market software businesses. Since 2015, Valsoft has acquired and grown 150+ mission-critical software companies worldwide, partnering with founders and management teams for the long term.
At Fluent, we don’t flip companies. We acquire, operate, and grow exceptional software businesses — preserving culture while providing the capital, operational playbooks, and leadership support needed to scale sustainably.

The Opportunity: M&A Analyst/Associate or Senior Associate - Business Development
Fluent Software Group is looking for an Analyst/Associate to help build and manage a growing portfolio of software businesses, while continuing to drive new acquisitions globally.
This is a true ownership role. You will be accountable for a set of existing portfolio companies while simultaneously sourcing and executing new deals.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who thrives on relationships, enjoys building from the ground up, and wants to grow into a long-term operator-investor role rather than a transactional M&A seat.

What You’ll Do
Portfolio Ownership & Growth
Take accountability for a group of existing Fluent portfolio companies
Act as a long-term partner to management teams, supporting growth, performance, and value creation
Build deep, trusted relationships with founders and operators post-acquisition
Deal Origination & Execution
Generate proprietary deal flow through founder-led outreach, broker relationships, and networking
Build and maintain a strong acquisition pipeline across multiple verticals
Lead deals end-to-end, from initial outreach and evaluation through diligence, negotiation, and close
Work closely with Senior Associate/Portfolio Manager and the broader investment team throughout the transaction lifecycle
Relationship-Driven Investing
Serve as the primary point of contact for founders, brokers, and advisors
Represent Fluent's long-term, people-first investment philosophy externally
Balance financial rigor with empathy, credibility, and trust-building

What We’re Looking For
We care most about how you show up, then how you think financially.
The Essentials:
Ability to build and maintain strong relationships
Culture add and effective communication style
Financial and analytical acumen
Experience & Skills
1–5+ years of experience in M&A, investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or a similar role
Strong interpersonal and communication skills — comfortable engaging founders and senior stakeholders
Proven ability to build and manage an acquisition pipeline
Solid financial analysis and valuation capability (models, diligence, deal structuring)
Comfortable owning work independently in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
Genuine interest in long-term portfolio building and operating partnership
Experience with vertical market software, buy-and-build strategies, or portfolio oversight is a strong plus but not required.

Compensation, Perks & Growth
Highly competitive compensation — we are happy to discuss!
Meaningful responsibility and ownership from day one
Clear progression toward a Portfolio Manager–style role
Exposure to a high volume of global software transactions
Long-term career path focused on ownership, not churn
Free lunches everyday and breakfast on Fridays!
Travel, events and networking opportunities
Innovative, dynamic and growth mindset environment

Why Fluent
Operate like an owner, not a banker
Work directly with senior decision-makers
Build something lasting — companies, relationships, and a portfolio
Join a culture that values trust, humility, and long-term thinking
