Job description

Our Firm

Agentis Capital Partners ("ACP") operates as the family office of the partners of Agentis, a diversified platform with businesses spanning principal investments, financial advisory, capital markets, and asset management services. Since its founding in 2009, the Agentis platform has advised on more than $30bn of transactions across infrastructure, mining, and energy, while ACP has built and managed a long-standing portfolio of principal investments across technology, industrial, and mixed industrial technology businesses.

ACP actively pursues both active and passive principal investments and currently manages a portfolio of more than 20 businesses. The firm has consistently made principal investments over the past decade, recycling capital into high-value opportunities and working closely with management teams and boards to create long-term value.

The Opportunity

The Principal Investments Internship provides a unique opportunity to work with one of Agentis’ partner firms, alongside its principal investments team and in collaboration with the partners of Agentis. This role is not a direct position with Agentis; internships are with an Agentis partner organization.

Unlike a traditional infrastructure investment banking internship, this role focuses on evaluating, executing, and managing principal investments, including direct equity investments and co-investments alongside advisory clients.

Interns will gain exposure to the full lifecycle of principal investing - from sourcing and evaluating opportunities to supporting due diligence, transaction execution, and portfolio company strategy. The role offers meaningful responsibility, hands-on experience, and direct exposure to senior leadership across a wide range of industries.

Strong-performing interns may be considered for future full-time opportunities within the Agentis partner ecosystem.

Your Contribution

As a member of the principal investments team, you will be challenged from day one and will work closely with Partners, senior investment professionals, and management teams of portfolio companies. Your responsibilities will include:

• Contributing to the operations of existing portfolio companies
• Fulfilling corporate finance responsibilities that arise through the operations and management of those portfolio companies
• Researching and evaluating potential principal investment opportunities, including analysis of target companies, sectors, industries, and geographies
• Supporting the execution of principal investments, including financial analysis, valuation, and transaction support
• Building and maintaining financial models of varying complexity to support investment decisions and portfolio monitoring
• Supporting the development of investment theses, business plans, and strategic initiatives for portfolio companies
• Assisting with asset-level reporting and performance monitoring across the principal investment portfolio
• Preparing internal materials and presentations for investment committees and senior leadership

As part of a high-performing, entrepreneurial team, you will be expected to work more than a standard workday and follow typical hours for roles in capital markets.

Our Differentiators

• Competitive compensation packages
• Direct exposure to senior team members and industry leaders
• Incredible opportunities for career growth, including analyst track
• Opportunities to work on projects with Agentis’ portfolio companies in diversified sectors including consulting, healthcare, fintech, agriculture, and financial services

Learning and Development Opportunities

• Hands-on learning through live principal investment work
• Ongoing internal training in financial analysis, valuation, and investment decision-making
• Exposure to senior leadership and mentorship from experienced investors

Your Skills and Experience

• Currently in your 3rd or 4th year of an undergraduate degree in accounting, finance, commerce, business, economics, statistics, computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related field
• Exceptional academic results (minimum cGPA of 80% or 3.7/4.0)
• Ability to concisely communicate complex concepts and ideas verbally and in writing
• Ability to take initiative and work independently with minimal supervision
• Desire to assume increasing levels of responsibility and seek solutions to complex problems
