  • Support execution of post-close value creation initiatives that deliver on our investment thesis
  • Partner with the Evergreen sourcing team to evaluate potential new acquisitions
  • Manage a team of 1-2 analysts and support our global analyst program

Requirements

  • 2+ years of full-time work experience in finance, consulting, operations or a related field
  • Ability to work with extreme autonomy and an ownership mindset
  • Exceptional EQ, can develop relationships and followership at every level of the organizational hierarchy
  • Leadership experience and ability to persevere through adversity
  • Strong strategic and analytical skills, an ability to make great decisions with incomplete information

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.
