• Conduct financial analysis, valuation and comparable transaction analysis
• Coordinate and manage financial and commercial due diligence workstreams, working with multiple internal and external stakeholders
• Evaluate transaction feasibility, revenue and cost synergies
• Prepare investment papers and materials for senior management and investment committee review
• Work closely with Commercial, Finance, Legal, Tax, HR, IT and external advisers throughout the transaction process

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics or a related discipline; CPA, ACCA, CFA or equivalent qualification is a plus

Why Join?

• End-to-end M&A exposure — be involved from sourcing through closing, rather than operating within a single transaction workstream
• Join a highly experienced deal team with significant autonomy and responsibility
• Gain exposure to international transactions across APAC, US and LATAM
• Work within a PE-backed environment
• Take on a role with real visibility and impact on the organisation’s growth strategy
• Opportunity to broaden your experience across different transactions, markets and business sectors
