M&A Pipeline Lead

About the role

M&A Pipeline Lead working directly with the CCO on the engine that drives Buena's growth: the M&A pipeline. Every property manager in Germany is a potential acquisition target; your job is to make sure we know about every single one of them.

What you'll do

• Build the target universe: every property manager in Germany on one list with revenue, headcount, locations, ownership structure, and signal of intent to sell.
• Build the sourcing engine that turns the list into deals: funnels from cold target to qualified conversation, automated email sequences, pipeline management, creative outbound campaigns.
• Run market research at the edges: pick up the phone and talk to property managers directly to find answers not on the internet.
• Grow the function by hiring and managing working students to extend coverage, and work closely with the creative director on campaign messaging.
• Report directly to the CCO with no middle layers.

What you'll need

• Fluent German (C2). Most targets, their public filings, and conversations are in German.
• Structured and obsessive about data quality.
• Resourceful in research across Handelsregister, Northdata, LinkedIn, company websites, phone calls, and industry directories.
• Move fast: ship v1 today and improve weekly rather than perfect before launch.
• Based in Berlin or willing to relocate; this is an in-office role in Prenzlauer Berg.

Nice to have

• You've built a real outbound or sourcing motion from scratch: a database, campaign, deal pipeline, or recruiting funnel.

What they offer

• Up to €500 close-to-office bonus for living within 10-20 mins walking distance to the office.
• €110/month lunch budget, €50 fitness subsidy.
• €1,200 yearly education budget.
• Free books: Buena pays for any book you'd like to read.
