The posting

Company Overview

We are the better way to work in finance. As private equity’s value creation partner, we sit at the heart of PE—where sponsors and CFOs meet. Through financial consulting rooted in data, technology, and AI, we help clients drive value—supporting the office of the CFO to drive end-to-end value creation.

If you crave challenging work and are looking to grow, come solve complex problems alongside a team of finance and technology professionals in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Backed by leading private equity investors, we are a high-growth, entrepreneurial firm with a global presence. We are looking for people who want to help build something great and make a lasting impact.

Position Overview

The Corporate Development Associate will support end-to-end inorganic growth initiatives — from sourcing and evaluating opportunities to deal due diligence and assisting with post-close integration — to advance our strategic roadmap and value creation objectives. This new hire will partner with the Corporate Development Vice President and the Head of Corporate Development to:

  • Assist with the full M&A lifecycle (build pipeline, diligence, valuation, deal terms, close, and integrate)
  • Translate investment theses into actionable business cases with quantified synergies, return profiles, and execution plans

The ideal candidate is an Investment Banking or Private Equity Analyst or Associate with 1.5 to 3 years of experience, preferably with a focus on tech or business services. Experience with the sell-side process is a must, and experience leading introductory and diligence calls directly with management teams and sellers is preferred.

This position must be based in our NYC office and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week. Ideal candidates should be local to the desired location.

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

What You’ll Do:

  • Pipeline and Sourcing – Build and maintain a prioritized funnel of targets aligned to strategic themes; triage inbound opportunities with crisp fit/no-fit rationale, and help cultivate relationships with founders, bankers, and investors
  • Deal Evaluation – Assist with commercial, financial, and operational assessments; structure scenarios, sensitivities, and synergy cases; summarize go/no-go recommendations for executive stakeholders
  • Financial Modeling and Valuation – Build robust three-statement, DCF, trading/transaction comps, and LBO-style models; frame offer ranges and walk-away points; align structure with risk-adjusted returns
  • Diligence – Coordinate cross-functional diligence workstreams (legal, finance, tax, HR, operations); own the data room, Q&A tracking, red flag resolution, and IC-ready findings
  • Executive Communications and Governance – Prepare investment memos, IC materials, board updates, and post-close readouts; establish deal KPIs and cadence for performance management
  • Market and Competitive Intelligence – Maintain a live view of sector dynamics, adjacencies, and disruptors; refresh build/partner/buy perspectives and target lists accordingly
  • Integration Planning – Assist with 100 Day Plan, value-capture workplans, synergy analyses, and KPI tracking

You Have:

  • Minimum 1.5 to 3 years of experience in Investment Banking and/or Private Equity with demonstrated end-to-end exposure to M&A processes (modeling, diligence deal process, and closing)
  • Strong financial modeling, valuation, analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Working knowledge of buyside due diligence workflows and data room best practices
  • Foundational familiarity with the M&A lifecycle and standard deal mechanics, including a strong conceptual grasp of core transaction documents (IOIs, LOIs, Purchase Agreements), structured payouts, and closing adjustments
  • High-impact communication skills (concise memos, IC/board materials, stakeholder alignment) and executive presence
  • Knowledge of tech-enabled services or business services sectors is a plus

You Are:

  • A self-starter with a strong work ethic
  • A leader of others; you lead by example
  • A strong team player, able to work with team members across all levels
  • Able to effectively communicate complex issues and solutions, and raise issues to senior team members when necessary
  • Comfortable managing projects with multiple complex workstreams while also focused on your single workstream (you are managing and doing)
  • Excited to be part of a growing team, with a focus on driving future growth
  • Full of entrepreneurial spirit and comfortable in a fluid, flat organization
  • Knowledgeable about the relationship between Private Equity sponsors and their portfolio companies
  • Passionate about delivering exceptional client service
  • Someone who enjoys mentoring others and doing meaningful work
  • Willing to get your hands dirty in the details of a project while simultaneously seeing the whole picture

The annual salary for this role ranges from: $150,000 to $180,000 + benefits + bonus. Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
