Job description

Junior Investment Banking Analyst

Immediate start | Full-time | 100% remote | €50K - €65K base salary

We are looking for a Junior Investment Banking Analyst who wants full deal exposure from day one. At FISART, you work on every stage of a transaction, from the first pitch to the final purchase negotiations, on both the sell side and the buy side. We are growing fast and are one of the hottest names in M&A right now. In the last two years alone, our team has closed 26 transactions, while our inbound engine brings in more than one new lead per day. For you, that means a steady stream of live deals to work on and a rare chance to be part of a real growth story in an otherwise dusty industry.

About FISART

FISART advises business owners in DACH on selling their companies, from traditional mid-sized businesses to e-commerce brands and SaaS firms. We run a structured sale process that is usually reserved for large transactions and show what a modern investment bank looks like. On the buy side, we support private equity firms and buy-and-build platforms while building a proprietary deal-sourcing platform based on our own digital content assets. From our headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, USA, we focus on the DACH region as our core market. FISART was founded by Lud Schroedl, who has built and sold two companies himself.

Your profile

• Quality bar: Above all, you tell exceptional from mediocre work in analyses, decks, client documents and AI output
• Commercial judgment: You grasp business models fast and judge what financial, customer and revenue data mean
• Execution: You deliver fast and try things out before overthinking them
• Open mind: You want an unusual setup and are ready to question the status quo of traditional banks
• Education: Degree in business or finance, completed or finishing soon so you can start full-time
• Language: Native-level German and very good English
• Strong plus: Experience in M&A, private equity, venture capital or at a high-growth startup or scale-up

You are part of the full deal lifecycle, on the sell side and the buy side.

• Pitch and valuation: You prepare pitches and initial valuations for business owners who are thinking about selling
• Financial analysis: You analyze financial statements, normalize EBITDA and build valuation models
• Sale preparation: You support our clients in the preparation phase, from due diligence simulation and data room to teaser and information memorandum

• Due diligence and negotiations: You support buyer due diligence and final purchase negotiations up to signing
• Buy side: You support buy-side mandates for private equity firms and buy-and-build platforms, from target screening to first talks

Your opportunity

• Full deal exposure: You work on the entire deal from pitch to signing, right next to the founders
• Both sides of M&A: You learn sell side and buy side in one role
• Steep learning curve: A direct line to the founder and real responsibility on live transactions
• AI does the groundwork: Data prep and formatting run through our AI-supported process, which leaves your time for analysis and judgment
• 100% remote: We work very closely together online and meet regularly for joint offsites
