Valsoft acquiert et exploite des entreprises de logiciels avec une vision de propriété permanente, en mettant l’accent sur l’autonomie, une croissance disciplinée et la création de valeur à long terme.

Contrairement aux fonds de capital-investissement, nous n’achetons pas pour revendre. Nous acquérons des entreprises de logiciels rentables et essentielles aux opérations de leurs clients, puis collaborons avec les équipes de direction pour les développer sur plusieurs décennies.

Notre croissance est portée par des acquisitions disciplinées. Ce poste se situe au cœur de ce moteur de croissance.

À propos du poste

Manos Software recherche un(e) Associé(e) en Fusions & Acquisitions (M&A) capable d’identifier, d’évaluer et de conclure des acquisitions dans le secteur des logiciels spécialisés.

Vous serez directement responsable de la constitution d’un pipeline d’acquisitions, des échanges avec les fondateurs, de la structuration des transactions et de la conduite des opérations jusqu’à leur finalisation.

Évaluer et analyser les opportunités

  • Évaluer les cibles d’acquisition selon les critères d’investissement de Valsoft
  • Construire des modèles financiers pour analyser la valorisation et les profils de rendement
  • Analyser la qualité des revenus, la concentration client, le taux d’attrition (churn) et les moteurs de croissance
  • Identifier les risques opérationnels et financiers

Exécuter les transactions

  • Diriger les appels exploratoires et les discussions avec la direction
  • Coordonner les diligences commerciales et financières
  • Structurer et négocier les lettres d’intention (LOI) et les accords définitifs
  • Présenter des recommandations d’investissement aux décideurs seniors
  • Travailler étroitement avec les Investment Partners pour conclure les transactions

Ce que vous apportez

  • 1 à 3+ ans d’expérience en banque d’investissement, capital-investissement, développement corporatif, services transactionnels ou M&A
  • Solides compétences en modélisation financière et en évaluation
  • Aisance dans les échanges directs avec des fondateurs et dirigeants
  • Capacité à gérer plusieurs transactions actives simultanément
  • Forte autonomie et orientation vers l’exécution
  • Curiosité intellectuelle envers différents secteurs et modèles d’affaires
  • Disponibilité pour voyager dans le cadre de transactions et d’événements sectoriels
  • Autorisation légale de travailler au Canada

Atouts supplémentaires

  • Expérience dans les logiciels spécialisés ou le SaaS B2B
  • Familiarité avec les stratégies d’acquisition « buy-and-build »
  • Titre de CFA

Pourquoi rejoindre Manos

  • Exposition directe aux décideurs seniors et aux Investment Partners
  • Modèle de capital permanent – vos transactions sont construites pour durer
  • Attentes de performance claires et résultats mesurables
  • Forte responsabilisation dès le début de votre carrière

  • Culture entrepreneuriale avec une réelle responsabilité

Rémunération

  • Salaire de base : compétitif
  • Rémunération variable : prime basée sur la performance liée aux acquisitions conclues et aux objectifs de revenus atteints
  • Évolution à long terme : parcours clair vers les postes de Senior Associate, Directeur et Investment Partner
  • Avantages : vacances illimitées après 1 an, allocation bien-être, remboursement des formations et autres programmes employés

Prêt(e) à construire avec nous ?

Si vous êtes analytique et motivé(e) par la prise de responsabilité, nous serions ravis d’échanger avec vous.

Requis :

  • Votre CV
  • Une courte note (5 à 10 phrases) décrivant une entreprise de logiciels spécialisés que vous prioriseriez pour une acquisition, et pourquoi

Company Overview

Manos Software Group is part of Valsoft Corporation, a long-term investor in vertical market software businesses.

Valsoft acquires and operates software companies with a permanent ownership mindset, emphasizing autonomy, disciplined growth, and long-term value creation.

Unlike private equity, we do not buy to resell. We acquire profitable, mission-critical software businesses and partner with management teams to build them over decades.

Our growth is driven by disciplined acquisitions. This role sits at the center of that engine.

About the Role

Manos Software is looking for an M&A Associate who can source, evaluate, and close vertical market software acquisitions.

You will be directly responsible for building acquisition pipelines, speaking with founders, structuring deals, and driving transactions to completion. You will work alongside Investment Partners and senior leadership, owning the process from first outreach to signed closing documents.

What You’ll Do

Build Acquisition Pipeline

  • Proactively source vertical software businesses
  • Conduct outbound outreach to founders and owners
  • Develop long-term relationships with business owners and sell-side advisors
    Maintain and manage a structured pipeline of qualified opportunities

Evaluate and Underwrite

  • Assess acquisition targets against Valsoft’s investment criteria
  • Build financial models to evaluate valuation and return profiles
  • Analyze revenue quality, customer concentration, churn, and growth drivers
  • Identify operational and financial risks

Execute Transactions

  • Lead exploratory calls and management discussions
  • Coordinate commercial and financial due diligence
  • Structure and negotiate LOIs and definitive agreements
  • Present investment recommendations to senior decision-makers
  • Work closely with Investment Partners to close transactions

What You Bring

  • 1-3+ years of experience in Investment Banking, Private Equity, Corporate Development, Transaction Services, or M&A
  • Strong financial modeling and valuation skills
  • Comfort speaking directly with founders and executives
  • Ability to manage multiple live deal processes simultaneously
  • High ownership mindset and bias toward execution
  • Intellectual curiosity across industries and business models
  • Willingness to travel for deals and industry events
  • Legal authorization to work in Canada

Nice to Have

  • Experience in vertical market software or B2B SaaS
  • Familiarity with buy-and-build acquisition strategies
  • CFA designation

Why Join Manos

  • Direct exposure to senior decision-makers and Investment Partners
  • Permanent capital model - your deals are built to last
  • Clear performance expectations and measurable outcomes
  • High ownership early in your career
  • Career path tied to transactions executed and value created
  • Entrepreneurial culture with real accountability

Compensation

  • Base Salary: Competitive
  • Variable Compensation: Performance-based bonus tied to acquisitions closed and revenue targets achieved
  • Long-Term Growth: Path toward Senior Associate, Director, and Investment Partner tracks
  • Benefits: Unlimited vacation after 1 year, wellness benefit, training reimbursement, and additional employee programs

Ready to Build With Us?

If you are analytical, and motivated by ownership, we would love to hear from you.

Required:
