This opportunity provides you with an immersive experience and training, preparing you for a career in major private equity firms. 

Job Summary

We are looking for a highly motivated intern to support our deal team in sourcing, evaluating, and executing acquisitions. This role offers a hands-on opportunity to gain exposure to all aspects of the private equity investment process — from market mapping and industry research to financial modeling and due diligence. You’ll work closely with the fund’s partners and be trusted to contribute directly to live deals and investment theses, while also developing a strong understanding of how value is created post-acquisition. 

The objective of the role is to grow the qualified target company pipeline by 5 to 10 companies per month. This involves significant outreach, research, analysis and investment committee discussions.
