You will work closely with our Chief Investment Officer, Operating Partners, management teams, and external advisors throughout the full investment lifecycle.

Scope of work:

  • Transaction ownership & execution
  • Financial modelling & valuation
  • Commercial and market due diligence
  • Investment documentation & IC materials
  • Stakeholder coordination (internal & external)
  • Exposure to deal sourcing and origination discussions

Requirements:

  • 2–3 years of experience in:
  • Demonstrated hands-on deal experience, ideally including buyout transactions
  • Buy-side private equity experience is a plus, but strong sell-side profiles are equally considered

Other attributes:

  • Strong understanding of corporate finance and accounting (including time value of money)
  • Solid grasp of business law and transaction structures across different jurisdictions
  • Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills, able to build models independently and confidently

Personal Attributes:

  • Sharp, fast, and highly execution-oriented
  • Strong interpersonal skills, comfortable working with Operating Partners, management teams, and sellers
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a strong sense of ownership
  • Reliable, proactive, and comfortable taking responsibility
  • Culturally aligned with a hands-on, high-trust investment team

Education:

  • Bachelor's degree (Master's degree a plus)
  • Education in finance, economics, accounting, or a related field

Languages:

  • English
