• Deliver actionable insights on growth drivers, risk factors, and value opportunities to inform strategy, pricing, and investment decisions
• Support due diligence and negotiations - including coordination of workflows, documentation reviews, and forecast impact assessments
• Create investment and capital markets memos that synthesize market and economic context, industry outlooks, and deal-specific strategy

We want you to succeed, so you will need:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
• 1-3 years of experience working in investment banking, corporate development, private equity, or equivalent finance roles with strong knowledge of supporting company investment transactions
• Deep understanding of financial statements and ability to build detailed three-statement models and cash flow forecasts
• Advanced Excel/Sheets proficiency with experience building complex models and working with large, unstructured datasets. Bring AI skills for quick wins.
• Clear and concise communicator - both written and verbal - with the ability to distill complex analysis into actionable insights
• Strong quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, with a data-driven mindset
• Skilled at creating impactful presentations that effectively communicate results to senior stakeholders
• Self-starter with strong initiative, comfortable operating independently in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
