Job description

At Quantive, we don't just execute transactions - we transform companies and change Founders' lives. Since 2011, we've pioneered an approach that few other firms offer: systematically improving businesses before taking them to market, resulting in 35% average valuation increases and a 90% close rate that's unheard of in our industry.

We're seeking an exceptional M&A Analyst to join our integrated M&A Advisory and Business Performance Group (BPG) practice. This isn't your typical investment banking role - you'll gain exposure to both operational transformations AND transaction execution, developing expertise that no other firm can provide.

Responsibilities

• Build comprehensive valuation models and investor presentations
• Support VP of Transaction Operations in managing deal 'go-to-market' activities, CRM systems, due diligence processes, and data room preparation
• Support deal origination through targeted outreach to business owners identified via market research and proprietary sourcing
• Lead diligence work-streams providing critical coordination between PE investors, QoE providers, tech diligence teams, and legal
• Analyze investor feedback and support negotiation strategies
• Contribute to business development by initiating conversations with prospective clients and nurturing early-stage relationships
• Participate in operational assessments across our Five Transformations framework
• Support senior team members and client C-Suites in developing and implementing value creation roadmaps
• Build financial models that capture improvement opportunities

Qualifications

• 5-7 years in investment banking, management consulting, corporate development, or private equity
• Strong deal execution experience with exposure to middle market transactions
• Interest in operational improvement and business transformation
• Track record of managing complex projects and multiple stakeholders
• Bachelor's degree required

Technical Skills

• Advanced financial modeling across multiple methodologies (DCF, LBO, comps)
• Strong PowerPoint and presentation development capabilities
• Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools
• Experience with virtual data rooms and deal management systems
• Understanding of legal documents and transaction structures

Nice to Have

• CPA, CFA, or MBA - we care more about impact than credentials
• Prior exposure to operational improvement initiatives
• Experience in lower middle market transactions

$100k - $150k

Benefits

• 401(k) with 3% automatic company match
• Maternity / Paternity leave
• $500 annual home technology budget
• Clear promotion path with annual reviews
