About the Role

CSC Generation grows through acquisitions, and this role builds the front end of that engine. As Senior Associate, M&A Origination, you will construct the market maps, run the outreach, and open the conversations that turn into completed deals—working directly with senior deal professionals on a small, high-output team.

In your first 6–12 months, success means a functioning origination pipeline you built from scratch: target universes mapped, outreach generating real conversations with owners and advisors, and sourced opportunities moving into active deal processes.

This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
