Acquisitions Specialist

Work Location: In person (hybrid)

About Us

Atom is an AI-native premium domain marketplace for startups and established businesses ready to secure a strong name, build a stronger brand, and move faster toward success. Our curated collection of world-class brandable domains, combined with intelligent discovery, makes finding the right domain fast and seamless, while our platform supports the entire naming journey, from idea generation and research to testing, trademark support, and brand monitoring. As a fast-growing, AI-first company at the intersection of technology, branding, and startups, Atom is looking for an Acquisitions Specialist to drive domain transactions from negotiation through close.

The Role

We're hiring an Acquisitions Specialist to negotiate domain deals directly between buyers and sellers. This isn't lead gen and it isn't a passive support role. You'll be the person actively working the deal: negotiating price and terms, managing both sides of the conversation, and pushing transactions to a close. It's a simple role in structure but a demanding one in practice, and it takes someone with real negotiation instinct, drive, and grit.

No domain acquisitions experience is required. What matters is whether you have the aptitude and disposition to hold your own in a high-stakes negotiation and see it through.

What You'll Do

• Negotiate domain acquisitions directly with both buyers and sellers


• Manage each transaction from active negotiation through signed close


• Represent Atom professionally in high-stakes phone and email conversations


• Identify what each party needs and structure terms that move the deal forward


• Keep transactions on track and resolve sticking points as they come up


• Build a track record of closing difficult, high-value acquisitions

What We're Looking For

• 1-3 years of experience in sales, negotiation, acquisitions, or a similarly high-stakes role


• Strong negotiation instincts and the ability to hold a position under pressure


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills


• Real drive and grit, especially when a deal gets complicated


• Comfortable in a fast-paced, startup environment


• No domain acquisitions background required. We're hiring for aptitude and disposition, not resume match

Bonus: experience in real estate acquisitions, M&A, or other transaction-based negotiation work

Why This Role is Different

• Real acquisitions experience negotiating both sides of a live transaction


• Direct mentorship from experienced operators in the domain and branding space


• Exposure to high-value deals and real decision-making


• Clear path to growth into senior Acquisitions, Account Management, or Strategy roles

Benefits: 401(k), dental insurance, health insurance, paid time off, vision insurance
