Senior Principal Private Equity Sales
The Senior Principal, Private Equity Sales is a senior individual contributor responsible for accelerating revenue growth through strategic relationships with private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies. The role treats the sponsor and portfolio company as a two-part buying unit: building sponsor access and preferred-vendor credibility while aligning to the portfolio company's operational, financial, and implementation priorities.
This role develops executive-level relationships across the private equity ecosystem, identifies acquisitions, carve-outs, buy-and-build, modernization, and other investment events that create opportunities for Epicor, and builds scalable pipeline across assigned firms and portfolios. The Senior Principal is the direct seller for designated carve-out opportunities and a strategic sales overlay for other portfolio-company opportunities, operating with a high degree of autonomy and accountability for individual revenue and pipeline objectives.
What you will be doing:
- Develop and execute strategic account plans for assigned private equity firms using portfolio mapping, install-base analysis, vertical and buy-and-build priorities, whitespace identification, and relationship-development strategies to prioritize expansion, cloud-transition, and new-logo opportunities.
- Build multi-threaded relationships with operating partners, heads of value creation, portfolio technology leaders, investment professionals, portfolio executives, and other decision-makers, positioning Epicor as a strategic technology partner across the investment lifecycle.
- Translate sponsor value-creation priorities, including EBITDA improvement, working-capital release, standardized reporting, integration, carve-out execution, and exit readiness, into differentiated narratives for both the PE sponsor and the portfolio-company economic buyer.
- Identify acquisition, carve-out, divestiture, platform-consolidation, modernization, and on-premises-to-cloud transition events that create opportunities for Epicor solutions; use relevant product-support or innovation milestones as timely, evidence-based entry points.
- Own the full sales lifecycle for designated private equity carve-out opportunities, including prospecting, discovery, systems-readiness assessment, solution alignment, deal strategy, negotiation, forecasting, and close.
- Serve as a strategic sales overlay for non-carve-out portfolio opportunities, partnering with territory, account, channel, and solution teams to develop deal strategies, navigate sponsor relationships, and advance qualified portfolio-company pipeline.
- Build a referral and influence network with technology-diligence advisors, value-creation partners, systems integrators, and other ecosystem participants; orchestrate cross-functional resources across Sales, Solutions, Channel, Marketing, Customer Success, Finance, Legal, and Services.
- Develop portfolio-wide commercial approaches, including preferred-vendor or master-service-agreement frameworks, standardized statements of work, implementation models, and repeatable sales plays that support multiple portfolio companies.
- Maintain disciplined CRM management and forecast accuracy while measuring PE-sourced and PE-influenced pipeline separately; share portfolio intelligence, competitive trends, benchmark insights, and results that improve sales effectiveness across the Revenue organization.
- Establish and manage practical leading and outcome measures for the PE motion, including sponsor engagement, referral activity, assessments, portfolio agreements, qualified opportunities, sourced and influenced pipeline, and closed-won results.
What you will likely bring:
- Advanced enterprise software or SaaS sales capability with demonstrated success developing and closing complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities and consistently delivering against revenue targets.
- Strong understanding of private equity business models and transaction stages, including acquisitions, diligence, carve-outs, buy-and-build strategies, portfolio value creation, operating-partner relationships, hold-period economics, and exit readiness.
- Advanced strategic account planning, portfolio analysis, pipeline generation, consultative selling, executive engagement, systems-readiness discovery, negotiation, and deal orchestration capabilities.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen with the ability to connect technology investments to EBITDA, working capital, operational improvement, growth, profitability, integration, and investment outcomes.
- Exceptional cross-functional influence, communication, and relationship-building skills, including the ability to establish referral partnerships, lead complex initiatives without direct authority, and operate independently as a senior individual contributor.
What will could you apart:
- 10+ years progressive experience in enterprise software, SaaS, technology, or complex solution sales.
- 4+ years of experience selling to or working with private equity sponsors, private equity-backed companies, strategic enterprise accounts, or similarly complex investment-driven customer environments.
- Demonstrated history of achieving or exceeding individual sales targets, generating significant new-business pipeline, and converting strategic relationships or ecosystem referrals into measurable revenue outcomes.
- Experience navigating executive-level relationships and complex sales cycles involving multiple internal and external stakeholders, including portfolio-company and sponsor constituencies.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Private Equity
Verify your role meets specialty occupation
PE titles like analyst or associate qualify, but generalist roles without a direct degree-field link can draw RFEs. Check the O*NET occupation profile for your specific title to confirm the degree requirement before applying.
Target firms with cap-exempt filing history
Some PE firms affiliated with universities or nonprofit research entities qualify as cap-exempt employers. Filing through a cap-exempt sponsor means no lottery, no October 1 start date, and faster USCIS processing throughout the year.
Search LCA filings to find active sponsors
Use Migrate Mate to filter private equity employers by DOL Labor Condition Application filings, so you're only applying to firms with a documented H-1B sponsorship track record rather than guessing from job descriptions.
Align your offer letter timing with cap registration
USCIS H-1B cap registration opens in March for an October 1 start. If your offer comes after registration closes, negotiate a delayed start or ask whether the firm can file for the following cap year without rescinding the offer.
Confirm the firm's prevailing wage tier before signing
PE firms must certify your salary meets DOL prevailing wage levels for your occupation and location. Run the OFLC Wage Search for your job title and metro area so you know which wage level your compensation falls under before offer negotiation.
Ask directly about premium processing policy
USCIS premium processing cuts adjudication to 15 business days. Many PE firms pay this fee as standard practice, but some don't. Clarify who covers it and whether it's offered during the interview process, not after you've accepted.
H-1B Visa Private Equity: Frequently Asked Questions
Do private equity firms commonly sponsor H-1B visas?
Established private equity firms, particularly mid-market and large-cap shops, sponsor H-1B visas regularly for analyst and associate roles. Boutique firms with smaller headcounts sponsor less frequently because each petition involves significant legal and filing costs. Use Migrate Mate to identify firms with active LCA filing history, which is the most reliable proxy for consistent sponsorship.
Does a private equity role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, most PE roles qualify. USCIS defines specialty occupation as a position requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field directly related to the duties. Financial analyst, investment associate, and portfolio operations roles consistently meet this standard. Generalist titles that don't tie duties to a specific degree field carry higher RFE risk and may require supporting documentation from the employer.
Can I switch PE employers on an H-1B without restarting the cap?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you transfer to a new employer once your current petition has been approved and you've been in H-1B status. Your new PE employer files an H-1B transfer petition, and you can typically start working as soon as the transfer petition is filed, without waiting for a new approval.
What happens if I'm not selected in the H-1B lottery while working in PE?
If your employer is affiliated with a qualifying nonprofit or university research entity, they may be able to file through a cap-exempt channel. Otherwise, you'd need to maintain valid status through OPT or another nonimmigrant visa while waiting for the next registration period. Some PE professionals explore O-1A visas as an alternative if they can document extraordinary achievement in finance.
How do I know if a PE firm will cover H-1B filing fees?
Federal law prohibits employers from passing certain mandatory H-1B fees to employees, including the basic USCIS filing fee and the asylum program fee. Premium processing is optional and employers may or may not cover it. Ask explicitly during the offer stage which fees the firm absorbs and whether premium processing is standard practice, since policies vary significantly across firms.
