Emanate is a dynamic private equity firm focused on acquiring and growing businesses across targeted industries. We move fast, think creatively, and build a high-quality pipeline of investment opportunities. This internship puts you at the center of that process.
The Role
We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented intern to support our deal sourcing team. Your primary focus will be on contact research and email validation — identifying and verifying the right people at companies we want to reach. As you grow in the role, responsibilities may expand into outreach, pipeline support, and analytical work.
Primary Responsibilities
• Research target companies and identify key decision-maker contacts using online tools, databases, and industry lists.
• Validate email addresses and maintain accurate, organized contact records to support outreach campaigns.
• Flag and surface high-potential acquisition targets within our focus industries.
• Draft professional outreach emails and follow-up correspondence on behalf of the deal sourcing team.
• Collaborate with team members to keep the deal pipeline current and data clean.
• As the role evolves: assist with qualifying business owners, evaluating opportunities, and supporting analytical models.
Qualifications
• Currently enrolled student, recent graduate, or early-career professional with interest in private equity, finance, or business development.
• Strong attention to detail — you take pride in accurate, well-organized data.
• Comfortable navigating websites, CRMs, LinkedIn, and online databases to find and verify information.
• Clear written communication skills; able to draft professional, concise emails.
• Self-starter who can manage time independently and stay productive in a remote environment.
• Experience with high-volume research or data entry is a plus but not required.
What You'll Gain
• Direct exposure to private equity deal origination and sourcing strategy.
• Practical skills in business research, contact intelligence, and professional outreach.
• A front-row view of how PE firms identify and evaluate acquisition targets.
• A flexible, remote role that works around your schedule.
• Potential to grow into expanded responsibilities as the firm scales.
Position Details
• Hours: 10–15 hours per week, fully remote.
• Schedule: Flexible — coordinate with team as needed.
• Compensation: Unpaid internship / academic credit (please check with your institution).
• Start Date: Immediate / Rolling
