• Review contracts: review and flag key commercial and legal terms in term sheets, SPAs, JV/shareholder agreements and partnership contracts; coordinate with external counsel.
• Support M&A and investments: screen targets, run due diligence workstreams, prepare investment memos and IC materials, and support negotiation and execution.
• Turn data into insight: analyse market, operational and financial data; size opportunities; build business cases and translate findings into clear recommendations.
• Communicate to leadership: prepare concise decks, memos and dashboards for management, board and external stakeholders.
• Drive execution: track strategic initiatives, manage workstreams across functions and follow through on deliverables with minimal supervision.

What We Are Looking For

• Bachelor's degree (Master's or professional certification such as CFA, CPA or equivalent is a plus) in Law, Management, Economics, Engineering, Accounting or a related field.
• Strong financial modelling skills in Excel (and ideally PowerPoint); able to build a clean, auditable model from scratch.
• Contract review ability: comfortable reading agreements, spotting commercial risk and explaining it in plain business language.
• Understanding of transaction structuring: equity vs. debt, JV structures, valuation mechanics and deal economics.
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills; proven ability to turn data into numbers and numbers into a story. Excellent written and verbal communication in English and Bahasa Indonesia.
• Self-starter with high attention to detail, sound judgement and the ability to work under tight deadlines.
• 0-4 years of relevant experience in consulting, investment banking, private equity, corporate development, Big 4 advisory, law firm or similar. Strong fresh graduates are welcome.

What You Will Gain

• Direct access to senior leadership and real influence on strategic decisions.
• Hands-on exposure to live transactions from screening through closing.
• Fast-track career growth in a lean, entrepreneurial environment.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
