About the Role
As an M&A Associate, you'll support the full acquisition lifecycle, from sourcing and lead generation through NDAs, valuation, indicative offers and letters of intent, due diligence, and transaction close. The role is roughly 60% deal execution and 40% business development, though the mix shifts depending on where the team is in the M&A cycle. You will be tasked with supporting M&A transactions and will be comfortable driving a cross-functional due diligence process — coordinating internal stakeholders and external advisors toward a close. You'll also gather key information on risks and opportunities and translate it into fact-based, well-reasoned insights on the valuation and structural impact of each acquisition. This is a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment: strong candidates enjoy both the analytical rigor of modeling and valuation and the relationship-building side of sourcing deals. The team works with colleagues across time zones globally, so some meetings will fall outside standard business hours. We offer a flexible, remote-friendly working environment. Expect occasional travel for conferences, in-person diligence, closings, and team meetings.

- Support the Director, M&A in the creation of the Portfolio’s M&A strategy.
