Jobbeschreibung

Golding Capital Partners is one of Europe’s leading independent asset managers, with over €15 billion in assets under management across Private Equity, Private Debt, Infrastructure, Secondaries, and Impact Investing.

Our culture is defined by openness, internationality, and a dynamic, forward-thinking mindset. With over 200 professionals from 24 countries, we operate from offices in Munich, Luxembourg, Milan, Tokyo, and Zurich.

We’ve been recognized multiple times for our inclusive and high-performance culture: since 2022, we have received the “Top Company Award” from kununu four times in a row and were recognized as a “Most Wanted Employer” by DIE ZEIT in 2024 and in 2025.

Our Employer Value Proposition – Driven by Impact. United as One. – reflects our belief in achieving sustainable results through collaboration, integrity, and long-term partnerships.

We value diversity and actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, perspectives, and identities.

You bring first experience in Private Equity – ideally in fund selection, co-investments, or transaction-focused roles in M&A or Investment Banking with strong modelling exposure? You’re eager to deep-dive into LBO models, market mapping, and fund due diligence processes? Then join our growing Buyout team at Golding Capital Partners and help shape high-quality portfolios across Europe and North America.

Role is based in Munich, with flexible home office policy.

This includes:

• Evaluating fund and co-investment opportunities through initial screenings.
• Active participation in fund due diligence processes, including onsite meetings.
• Supporting co-investment analyses, including scenario modelling as well as key metric sensitivity analyses.
• Managing internal investment processes and preparing investment committee materials for both fund and co-investment processes.
• Engaging with buyout GPs, maintaining market maps (by regions and sectors), and update internal databases and pipelines.
• Monitoring responsibility for part of the portfolio that includes attending AGMs across Europe and North America, holding periodic update calls with GPs, preparing quarterly write-ups as well as developing bi-annual cashflow forecasts.
• Contributing to strategic initiatives, fundraising efforts, and investor engagements.

Your qualification

• You hold a completed Master’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or a related quantitative field.
• First hands‑on experience in Private Equity, Co-Investments, or Investment Banking – through internships, analyst programs, or full-time roles.
• Proven financial modelling skills, especially LBO modelling – ideally from real-world deals or deal simulations.
• Strong interest in fund & co-investment strategies – and the curiosity to stay ahead of market developments.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (German is a plus).

Your personality

• Strong team player with the ability to work in a tight-knit, results-driven environment.
• Passion for analysing industries, exploring new business models and challenging assumptions.
• Structured, and detail-oriented approach to execute projects and tasks.
• Clear and professional communication style with both internal and external stakeholders.
• Ability to manage multiple projects with support from senior members.
• Highly motivated, reliable, and results-driven.
• Competitive compensation with a performance-based component.
• Favourable home office model and a modern office in Munich.
• Individualized professional development and a comprehensive onboarding program.
• Team events, community initiatives, and a collaborative workplace culture.
• Corporate benefits (e.g. Gympass, meal discounts, job bike, pension scheme and more).
