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*

  • Identify attractive companies through primary strategic research.
  • Manage a proprietary database of researched companies.
  • 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.
  • Develop marketing materials to pitch various clients and strategies.

*Please note that there is no financial modeling in the role and only minor financial statement analysis.*


Requirements

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:

  • BS/ BA degree from an accredited four-year university. All majors are encouraged to apply.
  • After graduation, 1-2+ years of experience in any field.  Professional internship experience is a plus. Business development experience is a plus. 
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, strong attention to details and highly organized.
  • A self-starter and able to effectively contribute within a team environment.
  • Closely align with the characteristics of a successful candidate (above).

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.
  • 401(k) plan with profit sharing after a standard waiting period.
  • Compensation: An M&A Analyst can expect to earn a base salary of $72,000 and will earn bonuses on their team's closed transactions. As an Analyst grows in the company (Analyst II, Sr. Analyst, Associate, Vice President) they can expect their bonuses and earning potential to significantly grow. 
  • Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision) after a standard waiting period.
