What will you be doing? 

The go-to-market (GTM) team is Axial’s sales and account management organization, focused on winning new business and growing our existing relationships across the “sell-side” (investment banks, M&A advisors, business brokers, and business owners) and “buy-side” (private equity, family offices, corporate development, independent private equity sponsors & search funds).
