InforCapital; Milano; Ibrido; EUR 45.000 - 70.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Circeus is hiring an Investment Analyst in Milan to work across the full acquisition cycle, from first contact to signing and integration. You will build analysis, diligence findings, and investment memos for the investment committee.

You will underwrite how AI can improve product depth and margins and develop AI-driven workflows for origination and screening. You will collaborate with M&A leadership, operators, and our AI team, with exposure to founders and advisers.

Competenze

• 1-3 years in M&A, investment banking, private equity, transaction services, or corporate development.
• Strong financial modelling and valuation skills, built from scratch.
• Ability to read a SaaS business quickly: recurring revenue quality, churn, expansion, gross margin, and cash conversion.
• Practical fluency with AI tools in your own workflow, with concrete examples of what you have automated or accelerated.
• Clear written analysis and the confidence to defend a recommendation concisely.
• High attention to detail under deal timelines, with sound judgement on what matters and what does not.
• Fluent English and Italian, written and spoken.
• Right to work in Italy.

Mansioni

• Source and qualify acquisition targets through outbound origination, broker relationships, and proprietary screening.
• Build and own financial models covering valuation, returns, cohort retention, and post-acquisition scenarios.
• Run commercial, financial, and product diligence, and pull the findings into a clear view on the asset.
• Write investment memos and screening notes that stand up to challenge at committee.
• Assess where our central AI platform can expand a target's product and margin, and build that into the underwriting case.
• Build AI-assisted workflows for origination, data extraction, and diligence, and leave the process better than you found it.
• Prepare valuation ranges and support structuring, LOIs, and negotiation with founders and advisers.
• Coordinate external advisers and internal workstreams to keep deals moving to timetable.
• Track portfolio performance against the original underwriting case and flag divergence early.
