Ravencourt Capital
·
Milan, Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy
Ravencourt Capital is seeking commercially driven professionals physically based in Europe or North America to originate qualified opportunities and support client conversion across our private-markets advisory and intelligence offerings. This role is designed for someone who genuinely enjoys meeting people, building commercial relationships, developing opportunities and closing business. Core responsibilities Attend relevant conferences, industry events and professional networking forums within the candidate’s primary market. Represent Ravencourt professionally with founders, investors, advisers, operators and senior decision-makers. Identify credible commercial needs and convert relevant conversations into qualified meetings. Build and manage an active pipeline of prospective opportunities. Follow up consistently and move suitable opportunities through the commercial process. Support commercial discussions through to signed engagement and initial payment. Maintain accurate records of conversations, commitments and next actions. Develop relationships capable of generating repeat and referral opportunities over time. Coordinate with Ravencourt on positioning, qualification and progression of material opportunities. Market and language requirements Europe Applicants covering European markets must demonstrate: professional proficiency in English; and professional proficiency in at least two major European languages. Relevant languages include French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. Language proficiency must be sufficient to conduct professional conversations, explain Ravencourt’s offering, manage follow-up and participate confidently in commercial meetings. North America Applicants covering North American markets must demonstrate: full professional proficiency in English. Professional proficiency in Spanish or French is highly advantageous, particularly for candidates covering relevant US, Canadian or cross-border markets. Candidates may primarily cover one geography while supporting selected opportunities in other markets where appropriate. Candidate profile We are looking for someone who: is currently based in Europe, the United States or Canada; is available to attend relevant events and conferences in person; is confident initiating conversations with senior professionals; genuinely enjoys relationship-building, business development, sales and closing; can identify commercial needs rather than simply generate contacts; communicates sophisticated propositions clearly and credibly; follows up with discipline and persistence; is commercially ambitious, accountable and outcome-oriented; can develop opportunities independently while exercising appropriate judgment; operates with discretion and protects confidential and proprietary information. Experience in B2B sales, partnerships, private markets, professional services, enterprise technology, commercial intelligence or corporate finance is advantageous, but demonstrated commercial ability and the capacity to originate and progress credible opportunities are more important than a specific academic background. Commercial approach The role follows an ABC — Always Be Closing mindset. This does not mean indiscriminate or high-pressure selling. It means ensuring that every relevant commercial conversation progresses toward an appropriate next step: qualification → meeting → commercial discussion → engagement → revenue The objective is not simply to accumulate leads. It is to identify credible needs, develop commercially relevant relationships and convert appropriate opportunities into business. Performance will be assessed primarily through: qualified meetings generated; quality of opportunities originated; progression through the commercial pipeline; signed clients; revenue generated; and quality and consistency of commercial follow-through. Compensation This is a commission and success-fee-based commercial engagement. No fixed salary or monthly retainer. Attractive performance-linked commission and success-fee economics. Higher economics may apply where an opportunity is originated and converted end-to-end. Commercial terms may improve with demonstrated performance, quality of origination and consistent revenue generation. Specific economics and qualifying criteria will be agreed in writing.
