Established in 1984, Bain Capital is one of the world's leading private investment firms with approximately $185 billion in assets under management. Bain Capital manages a range of strategies including private equity, public equity, credit, venture capital, real estate, life sciences, and impact investments. Our competitive advantage is grounded in a diligence-intensive, value-added investment approach that enables the firm to deliver industry-leading returns for its investors. Headquartered in Boston, Bain Capital has offices in Chicago, Dublin, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Mauritius, Melbourne, Mumbai, Munich, New York, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, Sydney, and Tokyo.

BAIN CAPITAL SPECIAL SITUATIONS OVERVIEW

Bain Capital Special Situations has $19 billion in assets under management and has invested $35 billion in more than 900 deals across a balanced geographic mix of investments in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific since its founding in 2002.

We are currently hiring experienced Analysts and Associates for our North America Special Situations group in our Boston office beginning in the Spring/Summer of 2025.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • 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.
