• Review and analyze financial reports, budgets, board books and other information prepared by management of our portfolio companies;
• Work with portfolio company management to maintain financial models that are used to analyze strategic issues and value the company;
• Support internal strategic project initiatives; and
• Support the preparation of internal annual valuations.

What you’ll need

• Minimum of 6 months of relevant experience, preferably in investment banking, principal investing or corporate development within an operating business (Internship experience is acceptable)
• Bachelor’s degree required, with the pursuit of a CFA designation considered a plus
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence others and comfort presenting to senior audiences
