Gunia Consulting is growing and is bringing on one person to run the research and outreach behind that growth. You find the companies worth talking to and the right people inside them, and you open the door so the founder can walk through it.

The role

You work directly with the founder as the research and outreach engine behind business development and content; the client conversations themselves stay with the founder. Remote, as a freelance engagement, part-time or full-time. When you apply, name one PE firm, family office or holding we should be talking to, who you'd contact there, and why.

What you'll own

• Build and maintain the target list: private equity firms, family offices, holdings and buy-and-build platforms across Switzerland, Germany, the Nordics and beyond.
• Find the right contact at each one and connect us with the decision makers.
• Prepare and run outreach on an angle we agree on, then track and follow up on replies.
• Research target markets and surface the rooms worth being in: events, associations, panels, podcasts and partnerships.
• Drive the content engine and keep the pipeline clean: content calendar, posts, pitch decks, article research and the CRM.

What you bring

• Experience in research, market mapping, sourcing or BD support.
• Fast, accurate work: a short, correct list beats a long one.
• Comfort with LinkedIn, spreadsheets and AI tools; you pick up something like Clay quickly.
• Own initiative: you figure things out instead of waiting to be told each step.
• Clean, professional written English; German is a plus, not a requirement.

What to expect

• A freelance engagement, part-time or full-time, with real room to grow as the firm grows.
• Direct work with the founder, without layers.
• A company email address, the tools you need, and a seat in how the firm is built.
• Terms are discussed directly in conversation.
