This role is designed for graduates and early-career professionals targeting careers in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or asset management, as well as career switchers from adjacent fields seeking a transition into high finance.

Role Overview

This role combines sell-side style execution with buy-side exposure, offering insight into how deals are evaluated, capital is raised, and investment decisions are made in practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Support M&A analysis, transaction research, and deal screening
• Assist with financial modeling, valuation frameworks, and investment analysis
• Conduct research on hedge funds, asset managers, and alternative investment strategies
• Support capital markets and capital raising initiatives

• Assist with preparation of pitch materials, investment memoranda, and presentations
• Analyze market trends across equities, credit, and alternative assets

• Are interested in M&A, buy-side investing, and capital markets
• Have strong analytical and communication skills
• Are motivated, disciplined, and comfortable in fast-paced environments

Prior banking experience is not required. Intellectual horsepower, curiosity, and execution mindset are key.
