  • Associate level across M&A advisory, buy-side or sell-side

  • Deep expertise in M&A deal structuring, valuation, and transaction execution

  • Strong financial modeling skills (incl. LBO, DCF, trading comps, precedent transactions) and comfort with complex transaction analysis, fairness opinions, and client-facing materials (incl. CIMs, pitch decks, management presentations)

  • Ability to articulate M&A judgment clearly and precisely in writing


Project Info (Requirements):

  • Commitment: 20+ hours/week, flexible scheduling

  • Location: Fully remote

  • Compensation: Competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience

  • Start date: Immediate / Rolling
