Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz Lexenta Partners Vollzeit

Role Description:

The Private Equity Investment Associate plays a pivotal role in supporting the identification, evaluation, execution, and management of investment opportunities across various sectors. This position contributes to the full investment lifecycle — from initial market research and financial modeling to due diligence, transaction execution, and post-investment portfolio management. Working closely with senior team members, the Investment Associate ensures that investment decisions are data-driven, strategically aligned, and value-focused.

In this role, the Associate is responsible for conducting comprehensive financial and strategic analyses to assess potential investment opportunities. This includes building and maintaining detailed financial models, performing valuation analyses, and preparing investment memoranda and presentations for internal and external stakeholders. The position involves supporting due diligence processes by coordinating with external advisors, analyzing market dynamics, and evaluating the financial and operational performance of target companies.

The Investment Associate contributes to the execution of transactions by assisting in negotiations, drafting documentation, and ensuring that all processes comply with regulatory, legal, and internal governance standards. Post-investment, the Associate supports portfolio monitoring activities, including performance tracking, reporting, and analysis of operational improvements or strategic initiatives within portfolio companies. The role requires strong analytical skills, business acumen, and a clear understanding of financial markets and corporate finance principles.

The Associate also plays an important role in researching market trends, competitive landscapes, and emerging sectors to identify new investment opportunities. This involves synthesizing data from various sources and providing strategic insights to support investment theses and portfolio strategy discussions. The position requires precision, intellectual curiosity, and a proactive approach to problem-solving and value creation.

The ideal candidate demonstrates exceptional quantitative and analytical capabilities, strong communication and presentation skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, detail-oriented investment environment. The Private Equity Investment Associate supports the firm's mission to generate superior returns through disciplined analysis, strategic partnerships, and responsible value creation.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Accounting, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of corporate finance, valuation methodologies, and investment analysis.
  • Advanced financial modeling and quantitative analysis skills.
  • Excellent analytical, strategic thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Proficiency in financial and data analysis tools (such as Excel, Power BI, or Bloomberg).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly.
  • Knowledge of private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and capital markets principles.
  • Commitment to integrity, analytical rigor, and excellence in investment execution.
