Job description

Atempo Growth is a pan-European growth and venture debt platform backing high-growth, tech-enabled companies from Series A through to pre-IPO. Founded in 2021, we have grown to €850M in assets under management and completed more than 40 investments in under five years, supported by leading institutional investors. Our approach is built on collaboration, agility, transparency, and long-term partnership with the founders we back. We are an ambitious, and fast-moving team. As we continue to scale our platform and European footprint, we are looking for an exceptional Analyst to join us and grow alongside the business.

The Role

This is a rare opportunity to gain full-cycle exposure to venture debt at an early-stage, high-growth fund. As an Investment Analyst, you will be involved across the entire investment process, from sourcing and origination, through diligence and execution, to ongoing portfolio monitoring. You will work closely with senior members of the team, take on real responsibility quickly, and have a clear path to grow within the platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Sourcing & origination: Identify and research prospective borrowers, map sectors and ecosystems, and help build and maintain a strong pipeline of opportunities.
• Due diligence: Conduct commercial, financial, and market analysis on potential investments, including financial modelling, benchmarking, and assessment of business fundamentals.
• Investment memos: Draft clear, rigorous investment memoranda and present findings to the investment committee.
• Deal execution: Support structuring, term-sheet preparation, and documentation in coordination with founders, advisers, and legal counsel through to close.
• Portfolio monitoring: Track the performance of portfolio companies, monitor covenants and key metrics, prepare reporting, and flag risks and opportunities to the team.
• Relationship building: Build relationships across the venture and founder ecosystem (VCs, founders, advisers, and co-investors) to strengthen our network and deal flow.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–3 years of relevant experience in venture debt, investment banking, private equity, consulting, venture capital, or a related field.
• Undergraduate degree with strong academic performance, ideally in a numerate discipline.
• A genuine passion for technology, startups, and the venture/growth financing space.
• High energy and high integrity
• A proactive, hard‑working mindset with the ability to operate autonomously in a fast‑paced environment and consistently meet deadlines.
• Strong analytical skills and comfort with financial analysis and modelling.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to produce clear, high-quality work.
• Willingness to network and travel across Europe as the role requires.
• Live deal exposure from day one, working directly on €3M–€50M+ transactions
• Direct access to founders, CEOs, CFOs, institutional lenders and sponsors
• Broad sector exposure across tech‑enabled businesses
• Pan‑European deal flow and market coverage
• Help build a next‑generation growth debt platform
