Mergers & Acquisitions Analyst Job Overview

As a part of a world-class, hard-working and energetic team, you will have a ground floor opportunity to engage with leaders of private equity funds, family offices, private equity backed companies, and privately-held corporations and be a part of a fast-paced, professional environment that thrives in making deals. You will be working with an established Associate to support the management of a pipeline of acquisition strategies, work collaboratively with an industry "deal team" and gain significant exposure to high-profile clients and business leaders early on in the job.

A few highlights of your day-to-day responsibilities*

• Communicate professionally with business owners & key executives over the phone and through other outreach, using a consultative business sales approach.
• Write professional correspondence (letters and emails) to key executives.

The successful candidate will be:

• Entrepreneurial, a go-getter, smart, eager to learn, hard-working, organized, detail-oriented, tenacious, charismatic, intrinsically motivated, adaptable, a quick thinker, energetic, curious, self-directed, able to multi-task well, bounce back from rejection with resiliency... and be a bit competitive!
• Able to relate to diverse businesspeople - from sophisticated bankers and PE firm leaders to street-smart company founders and entrepreneurs.
• A polished communicator - both verbal and written. Someone with a background or naturally wired for sales and deal-making.
• Willing to roll up sleeves, provide hands-on support to Associates in pursuing new deals with a driven work ethic and an intuitive knack for engaging with people and work collaboratively with the "deal team."
• Excited about getting a practical, on the job "mini-MBA" education without the expense of graduate school.

We do have a few requirements:

What we bring to the table for you:

• The opportunity to get involved in the private equity industry early in your career and work towards becoming an established deal maker down the road (This is an industry hard to get into and often requires years of experience and an MBA from prestigious university).
• The potential to earn more money than other professions, with a company that provides the formula to succeed and eventually the possibility to earn equity in closed business deals.
• Comradery with a great group of driven, smart, creative and "can-do" professionals.
• A culture that inspires learning, encourages autonomous work, fosters team collaboration, rewards hard work and results, and offers a sustainable work/life balance with the opportunity for a long-term career path.
