Companies are changing how work gets done, and that change needs a new approach to finding the right people.

Talent Marketplaces provide the answer to forward thinking companies, and whilst Talmix is already an acknowledged market leader with its business talent network, we have ambitions to become the dominant player in this category and unlock the power of independent talent for every business.

Talmix creates fast connections to its global network of over 60,000 highly-skilled professionals for project, interim or permanent engagements.

We believe that with the right mix of talent, anything is possible, and we want this to apply to all our clients and our own team. We’re bold, bright and straight-up in our attitude to hiring, to working and to being part of the team that changes the way companies get work done.

The Role: Business Development - Private Equity (US)

This business development role is focused specifically on establishing and growing relationships within the Private Equity sector.

Our Private Equity practice works closely with portfolio operations teams to navigate top and bottom-line topics with speed, ease and flexibility, by accessing specialist skillsets that don’t exist in-house or by adding powerful bandwidth to get critical work done.

You will generate revenue by identifying which Private Equity firms in North America will gain most advantage from using Talmix and then positioning the solution to become established within the account as their first-choice business talent provider. You will then focus on expanding the user base and driving referrals to create loyal clients who buy in increasing volume and value across their portfolio.
