  • Portfolio & Platform Work: Analyze portfolio company performance and key operating metrics; support strategic initiatives including growth planning and operational improvements; participate in board meetings, management presentations, and strategy sessions; assist with capital raising initiatives (debt and equity).
  • Research & Sourcing: Conduct industry research and market mapping to inform investment theses; identify and evaluate potential investment opportunities; support proactive sourcing efforts alongside senior team members; develop insights that guide where and how the firm invests.
  • Additional exposure will include fundraising and investor communications, portfolio monitoring and reporting, and value creation initiatives across GTM, human capital, technology, and finance.
Professional Experience & Qualifications
  • 2-3 years of experience in investment banking
  • Undergraduate degree with strong academic record
  • Strong work ethic and ability to work in a high-agency and high-ownership culture
  • Extensive financial modeling skills
  • Mature, professional candidate with strong interpersonal and communication skills
