• Deal Sourcing: Expand upon robust proprietary outreach that is already in place. Responsibilities include threshold analysis of potential targets, drafting offers to qualifying firms, and coordinating follow-up correspondence with owners.
• Industry Analysis: Deepen our understanding of practice areas conducive to our thesis, including building relationships with operations and other professionals in the space.
• Provide transaction support; maintain and update internal data; other responsibilities available commensurate with interest and performance.
Other Key Details
• Remote, unpaid and expected workload of 5-10 hours a week.
• Start and end dates are flexible; the ideal candidate would start in May and end in July/August.
This role is great for an undergrad or first-time searcher that wants hands-on sourcing and transaction experience. We’ve had many conversations with firm owners who are interested in exploring a transaction. As the number of responses grows, we are growing our team to keep pace.
