• Coordinate due diligence across financial, legal, and commercial workstreams.
• Support negotiations and manage transaction documentation through to close.
• Prepare investment memos and present directly to senior leadership and investors.
• Work closely with the CEO and founders on strategic initiatives and growth planning.
• Support integration planning and ongoing performance tracking of acquired businesses.
• Help define synergy capture frameworks and identify operational improvements.
• 5-7 years of experience in investment banking (M&A), private equity, or corporate development.
• Strong execution track record across the full deal lifecycle, from origination to close.
• Advanced financial modelling and valuation skills.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable with ambiguity and a fast pace.
• Strong communication skills and ability to engage credibly with founders and senior stakeholders.
