Private Capital Advisory – GP Advisory Summer Internship | Evercore

• Full-time
• Type of programme: Intern

Evercore is a premier global independent investment banking advisory firm. We are dedicated to helping our clients achieve superior results through trusted, independent, and innovative advice on matters of strategic significance to boards of directors, management teams, and shareholders – including mergers and acquisitions, shareholder advisory, restructurings, and capital structure. Evercore also assists clients in raising public and private capital, and delivers equity research, equity sales, and agency trading execution, in addition to providing wealth and investment management services to high-net-worth individuals.

Our Intern Programme gives students the opportunity to work on industry-shaping transactions with global clients.

Founded in 1995, the Firm is headquartered in New York and maintains offices and affiliate offices in major financial centers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Inclusion and Equal Opportunity Employment

Evercore is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We are pleased to consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, colour, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or any other legally protected status.

Evercore’s Private Capital Advisory (“PCA”) team advises private capital managers and investors on complex liquidity, portfolio and fund management solutions across the global secondary market.

Within PCA, the GP Advisory team works with General Partners to structure and execute bespoke liquidity and capital solutions for private equity assets and funds. The team advises sponsors throughout the transaction lifecycle, combining strategic advice, financial analysis, transaction structuring and access to a broad network of secondary market investors.

The team’s principal areas of activity include:

Equity Recapitalisations

GP-led secondary transactions sit at the intersection of investment banking, private equity and private capital markets. The team advises clients on situations requiring detailed analysis of underlying portfolio companies, fund structures, valuation, transaction dynamics and investor considerations.

The Opportunity

The GP Advisory team is seeking penultimate-year university students to join its Summer Internship Programme.

The programme is designed for students who are considering a career in investment banking and are interested in gaining first-hand experience across private equity and the secondary market.

Summer Interns will work as part of the deal team on live mandates and business development assignments, gaining direct exposure to the execution of GP-led secondary and structured transactions for private equity sponsors.

The internship is designed to provide experience comparable to the day-to-day responsibilities of an investment banking analyst. Summer Interns will work alongside analysts, associates and senior bankers and will contribute to the financial analysis, transaction materials and execution work required to deliver advice to clients.

Given the nature of GP Advisory, interns will also develop an understanding of both the underlying portfolio companies being evaluated and the broader fund- and sponsor‑level considerations that influence private capital transactions.

Responsibilities

Summer Interns may be involved in:

• Supporting the execution of GP-led secondary and structured capital transactions across the transaction lifecycle
• Performing financial modelling, valuation and analysis of portfolio companies, funds and transaction structures
• Conducting company, sector, sponsor and secondary market research to support live mandates and business development
• Preparing client presentations, transaction materials and investor-facing documentation
• Supporting investor outreach and the coordination of transaction workstreams
• Working closely with junior and senior team members on live mandates, pitches and strategic assignments

Summer Interns will be expected to develop a strong understanding of the commercial rationale, valuation considerations and transaction mechanics underpinning each assignment, rather than operating solely in a process-support capacity.

We are looking for penultimate-year university students who demonstrate:

• Strong analytical and quantitative ability
• A high level of attention to detail and accuracy
• Sound commercial judgement and intellectual curiosity
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to organise and prioritise work effectively in a demanding transaction environment
• A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership of assigned work
• The ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative deal teamA genuine interest in private equity, private capital advisory and the secondary market

Candidates should be motivated by the opportunity to work on complex transactions requiring both detailed company‑level analysis and an understanding of broader private equity fund and capital dynamics.
