Who We Are Looking For

We care more about judgement, accuracy and drive than about a particular pedigree. Prior M&A experience is welcome but not required — we will train the right person.
Essential

• A bachelor's degree, ideally in finance, economics, accounting, business or a related discipline. An MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification is preferred.

• Excellent written and spoken English. You will write briefing notes and correspondence read by senior professionals and international counterparties.

• Strong research instincts, and the discipline to verify a fact against a primary source rather than accept the first result.

• Comfort with financial statements and the ability to interpret revenue, margin and ownership information.

• Advanced spreadsheet skills and confidence with professional research tools.

• Self-direction. You will manage your own queue against deadlines across several mandates without close supervision.

• Absolute discretion. This work involves highly confidential information about real companies and real people.

• Willingness to work hours aligned to the U.S. business day.

Advantageous

• Experience in investment research, due diligence, corporate finance, consulting, audit, investor relations, business development or market intelligence.

• Exposure to private-markets work — venture, private equity, M&A or capital raising.

• A track record of building and defending research or prospect lists from primary sources.

  
  
  

The Role

This is a full-desk execution role, not a support function. As an Analyst you will carry live mandates through the early transaction lifecycle with real ownership — building the buyer universe, preparing marketing materials, running approved outreach, qualifying interest, and setting up meetings between prospective buyers and our deal team.

You will work in direct, real-time coordination with our senior bankers. When a prospective buyer signs an NDA and moves into live engagement with the seller's management and our senior team, your client-facing role on that buyer concludes and you continue in a support capacity while advancing your other mandates.

It is a demanding seat and a genuine training ground. Analysts here learn how transactions actually get done — and are expected to grow into greater responsibility on the strength of their judgement and reliability

What You Will Do

• Buyer and market research. Identify and profile strategic and financial acquirers; research industries and companies; validate financial and ownership data against primary sources.

• Marketing materials. Prepare and quality-check teasers, one-pagers and buyer lists, and support the production of confidential information memoranda.

• Outreach campaigns. Execute monitored, partner-approved outbound campaigns across email and professional networks, and track engagement and responses.

• Prospect and investor meetings. Qualify inbound interest, schedule and coordinate introductory calls between prospective buyers and our deal team, and prepare briefing notes and agendas.

• NDA and CIM process. Manage NDA issuance and tracking and control the distribution of confidential materials under strict approval and confidentiality controls.

• Pipeline and data discipline. Maintain accurate, complete and deduplicated records in the firm's systems, with rigorous task and deadline management.

• Real-time coordination. Keep the senior team informed during overlapping hours, escalate live developments immediately, and maintain same-day responsiveness on active mandates.

• Performance bonus
• Salary Review: Yearly
• Festival Bonus: 3
