About our client
Our client is a successful international investment company based in Luxembourg, with over €2 billion AUM. Its private equity team invests in mid-sized companies in selected target sectors, and has the flexibility to execute majority, minority, and/or co-investments across DACH, France and Benelux. They subsequently aim to increase company value by adopting an active shareholder strategy and lean into value creation and governance topics.
With a growing investment pipeline, the DACH-focused private equity team is looking for an Associate to grow their execution capabilities in the region. If you're a driven professional with strong modelling abilities, sharp commercial insight, and a passion for working in a collaborative, flat-structured team, this opportunity could be the perfect fit for you.
What the job involves
Proactively screen and identify suitable target companies for potential investment opportunities
Perform investment assessments, including the development of comprehensive financial models for valuation and acquisition structuring
Support and drive due diligence processes in collaboration with external advisors and synthesize key insights for inclusion in Investment Memorandums
Adopt an active ownership approach by partnering with industry experts and management teams to drive and implement value-enhancing initiatives
Who we are looking for
Master’s degree, preferably in Economics, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent qualification)
Relevant experience in investment banking, strategy consulting, or within a private investment firm
A strong interest in active ownership, approaching investments with the mindset of a business owner rather than a passive institutional investor
Excellent analytical capabilities, with proven experience in financial modelling
Comfortable operating within the Mittelstand environment, with a solid understanding of its unique dynamics
Fluent in both German and English, with strong communication skills in both languages
The position is based in Luxembourg; therefore, candidates must be willing to relocate and reside there full-time for a few years. A later relocation to the firm’s office in Munich can be considered
