Job Title: Director of Origination & Sourcing

Company: Solen Software Group Location: Toronto, Canada (hybrid) Employment Type: Full-time

About Solen Software Group

Solen Software Group is an evergreen holding company that acquires and operates proven vertical-market software businesses with meaningful long-term growth potential. Solen compounds value over decades, not quarters, and partners with founders to build enduring category leaders across HR tech, fleet telematics, asset management, e-health, document management, and other mission-critical software verticals.

About the Role

The Director of Origination & Sourcing is a senior origination and people-leadership role responsible for building durable acquisition pipelines across Solen’s priority verticals.

You will own market coverage, outbound strategy, founder engagement, and relationship development for a defined set of verticals and high-priority accounts. They will lead and develop a Toronto-based team of 5+ Corporate Development Associates, while also serving as a hands-on individual contributor—personally building deep, long-term relationships with Solen’s most strategic founder and advisor accounts.

Success in this role comes from combining high-tempo outreach and disciplined operating rhythms with authentic founder credibility—compounding trust over time and consistently producing high-quality, well-qualified opportunities.

Core Responsibilities

1) Origination Strategy & Market Coverage

  • Own origination strategy for assigned verticals and priority account lists, aligned with Solen’s acquisition theses.
  • Define ICPs, personas, account universes, and coverage models (founder-owned, sponsor-owned, carve-outs).
  • Design and run multi-touch outreach programs (email, phone, LinkedIn, events, conferences, in-person) tailored to founder audiences.
  • Build long-term nurture programs (content, check-ins, founder events) that compound trust and readiness over time.
  • Translate market learning into sharper targeting, messaging, and segmentation.

2) Team Leadership & People Management (Toronto Hub)

  • Directly manage, coach, and performance-manage 5+ Corporate Development Associates, with responsibility to scale the team over time.
  • Set clear expectations on activity quality, messaging standards, discovery fundamentals, and qualification discipline.
  • Run weekly 1:1s, pipeline reviews, call coaching, and skill-building sessions; deliver direct, high-candor feedback.
  • Partner with the Head of Corporate Development and People team on hiring profiles, onboarding, and career progression paths.
  • Build a culture grounded in accountability, learning, and continuous improvement.

3) Individual Contributor – Priority Relationships

  • Personally own and develop relationships with Solen’s highest-priority founder and advisor accounts.
  • Act as a senior Solen representative in founder conversations, building credibility, trust, and long-term alignment.
  • Lead complex discovery conversations focused on founder goals, succession, growth constraints, and partnership fit.
  • Maintain momentum and engagement over long relationship arcs, positioning Solen as the preferred partner.
  • Develop “why Solen” narratives tailored to priority accounts based on their context, objectives, and constraints.

4) Pipeline Management, Metrics & Operating Rigor

  • Own pipeline health and reporting for your team: coverage, outreach, connects, first meetings, qualified opportunities, and progression.
  • Enforce CRM rigor and data quality as a non-negotiable operating standard (hygiene, stage definitions, required fields).
  • Run structured weekly and monthly reviews focused on conversion, quality, and learning—not just volume.
  • Surface insights on objections, market signals, and winning talk tracks; institutionalize learnings through playbooks.

5) Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Align with internal stakeholders on vertical priorities, messaging, qualification standards, and handoff criteria.
  • Coordinate timely, structured handoffs of qualified opportunities once mutual fit and readiness thresholds are met.
  • Provide market feedback loops to refine theses, positioning, and outreach programs.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • 5+ years in corporate development, PE origination, B2B SaaS enterprise sales/new-logo, or sourcing roles.
  • Proven experience managing and developing junior-to-mid-level teams in an outbound, metrics-driven environment.
  • Strong individual contributor instincts with demonstrated ability to build senior-level founder relationships.
  • Systems-oriented operator who values process, scorecards, operating cadence, and continuous improvement.
  • High integrity, low ego, strong executive presence; comfortable in ambiguity and energized by building.
  • Experience in vertical-market software, PE-backed platforms, or consolidators strongly preferred.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to build and lead a scaled origination function within an evergreen software compounder.
  • High ownership role with meaningful influence on Solen’s long-term growth trajectory.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.

Solen-isms (How We Operate)

· Ownership Mindset: We own the mission. We don't wait to be told. We lead, fix, and build as if it were ours. When problems arise, we run toward them, not away.

· Benchmark to Best: We seek out excellence. We measure ourselves against the best and adapt quickly, always looking for the edge that moves us forward.

· Openly Self-Critical: Leaders go first: they surface their misses early, ask for direct feedback, and turn “game film” into better decisions and better systems.

· Disagree & Commit: Leaders disagree openly and constructively, regardless of title or tenure, because truth is how we avoid bureaucracy and benchmark to best.

· Figureitoutiveness: Embracing challenges, fostering growth, and taking initiative, leaders thrive on hard work and high failure tolerance.

· Mutual Elevation: Committed to growth, elevating teams, developing future leaders, and removing barriers to mastery and joy.

· Learn-it-alls: Learn-it-alls, not know-it-alls, embracing failure as part of growth and progress.

· Pioneering: Pioneering driven by opportunity, using first principles thinking and unbound by tradition or rules.

· Will to Win: Leaders relentlessly pursue potential, reject mediocrity, and get what they tolerate.

· Dialectical: We learn through conversation. We ask, listen, question, and evolve — valuing disagreement as a tool for alignment and deeper understanding.

· Frugality: Achieving more with less, focusing on quality, long-term value, and company-wide responsibility.

· Candor: We communicate with integrity, transparency, and respect in all conversations.

· Kaizen: Kaizen is continuous improvement as a way of life. Leaders make hundreds of small upgrades that compound, turning lessons into standards and standards into durable systems.
