In addition to these structured relationships, we also develop specific investment themes that we direct towards business owners to drive direct engagement, build a foundation of trust with our firm and brand, and ultimately source proprietary, off-market opportunities.With a lean team, we are limited in our ability to fully leverage each of these channels today, leaving valuable relationships and opportunities untapped.Where We Need HelpOur firm needs to build a scalable communication platform that keeps us connected with the full breadth of our intermediary network while also deepening our reach with business owners. This role will ensure that our outreach is consistent, targeted, and value-added; not just noise.
