What we're looking for

Required

• 2–5 years in investment banking, private equity, transaction services, or a comparable investment role
• Strong financial modelling from a blank sheet — DCF, and operating models without relying on templates
• Demonstrated ownership of diligence workstreams on completed transactions
• Clear, concise written analysis; ability to write a memo that a busy decision-maker can act on
• Comfort with ambiguity and incomplete information, and the judgment to say so rather than paper over it

• Experience across more than one geography or regulatory regime
• Familiarity with fund investing and co-investment mechanics
• Additional languages relevant to our coverage markets

Attributes that matter here

• Discretion; family office work is confidential by default
• Comfortable being the only person on a deal, and comfortable being told no
