  • Scenario and sensitivity analysis
  • Experience with Bloomberg, Capital IQ, FactSet, or PitchBook
  • Strong attention to detail and deadline management
  • Ability to manage multiple transaction workstreams simultaneously
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication
  • Availability during U.S. business hours

Nice to Have

  • MBA, CFA, or CPA
  • Buy-side and/or sell-side M&A experience
  • Capital raising experience
  • Technology, healthcare, financial services, or real estate transaction exposure
  • Experience reviewing or mentoring analyst-level work

What Success Looks Like

  • High-quality transaction and client materials delivered on time

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.
