About DealsPlus

We're a fast-scaling, B2B SaaS company reshaping how private equity firms manage their portfolio data. Our platform helps top-tier PE firms digitise, manage and understand their cap tables and investment structures. Backed by a strong seed round and trusted by 35+ private equity firms, we're entering our next stage of growth.

Why This Role Exists

We've reached a major revenue milestone and are ready to scale our commercial engine. We're looking for a Big4-trained accountant, corporate lawyer, or private equity professional who is ready to leverage their impressive experience to pivot to a more strategic, client-facing, commercial role - one where your understanding of deals, structures and the private equity ecosystem is a superpower.  We're also open to experienced B2B sales professionals who know the private equity world inside out and are ready to sell a product that genuinely changes how the industry operates.

This is your opportunity to join as our

What You'll Get
