• Strong financial modeling, valuation, accounting, and analytical skills.
• Experience evaluating businesses, conducting diligence, and supporting transaction execution.

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Self-motivated, intellectually curious, and interested in building a long-term career in investing.
• Based in Baltimore or willing to relocate.

This opportunity is ideal for a candidate looking to take on meaningful responsibility within a lean investment team, gain exposure to all aspects of the investment process, and build long-term experience investing in leading software and technology businesses. The successful candidate will thrive in an entrepreneurial environment and be eager to contribute both analytically and commercially from day one.
