The Opportunity

Building great and sustainable businesses requires attracting and developing the best talent available and our people’s diversity of background, experience, thought, ability, and outlook makes us who we are.

Our internship programme is an important part of our recruiting efforts and allows successful applicants to gain first-hand experience of the day-to-day life as a junior private equity professional.

We are looking to hire Interns to join for a period of four to six months. This is a unique opportunity to gain early exposure to the private equity industry and assume the responsibilities of an Analyst in a tight-knit investment team of experienced private equity professionals.

Interns will be involved in all aspects of the investment process, gaining exposure to live transactions, and supporting with ad hoc requests. Responsibilities will include screening investment opportunities, conducting market research and industry analysis, preparation of presentation materials and assisting with financial analysis and modelling. There is the potential to convert the internship into a full-time Analyst position, subject to performance and headcount.

Requirements • Available for 4–6-month internship (start date - January 2025) • Strong academic track record, including Bachelor’s or Master’s degree from a leading university • Minimum of 3 months internship experience in corporate finance and / or private equity • Sound knowledge of accounting and finance principles • Competence in financial modelling (this will be tested as part of the recruitment process) • Highly analytical and comfortable analysing complex data • Intellectually curious • High level of attention to detail • Genuine interest in businesses and the private equity industry • Proactive team player • Excellent communication skills • Second European language beneficial but not a pre-requisite
