  • Creating and refining financial models (especially LBO and scenario analyses) and valuing targets

  • Independently managing the entire deal process (NDA, term sheet, due diligence, contract negotiations, signing & closing)
  • Translating the investment thesis into concrete value-creation and integration plans
  • Building a scalable M&A operating system: developing and standardizing models, templates and decision logics
  • Structuring data rooms and ensuring a consistent documentation and reporting framework

  • Several years of relevant professional experience (approx. 4–8 years) in private equity (small/mid-cap), investment banking, transaction services or corporate finance
  • Strong understanding of transaction processes and experience in deal execution and structuring
  • Solid skills in financial modeling, valuation and investment analysis
  • Strong entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to independently develop and implement investment theses
