About our client
Our client is a leading European investment firm backed by a highly entrepreneurial LP base, including prominent family businesses and industry leaders. With over €5bn of invested and committed capital across multiple strategies, the platform has built a strong track record partnering with founders and families in long-term value creation. Within the platform, the firm's opportunities strategy focuses on larger, well-established businesses across healthcare, life sciences and technology, investing €150m+ of equity in both majority and strong minority transactions across Europe. The team combines deep sector expertise with institutional investment experience and is now building out its London presence with a small, highly pedigreed group of senior investors. What the job involves
This is a rare opportunity to join a growing London-based team at an early stage of its build-out, working directly with senior partners on complex, large-cap transactions across Europe.

• Building and owning detailed financial models, valuation analyses and transaction materials
• Conducting commercial and strategic analysis, including market deep-dives and competitive positioning
• Coordinating due diligence processes alongside advisors and management teams
• Supporting portfolio companies post-acquisition, including strategic initiatives and add-on opportunities

• Several years of experience in top-tier investment banking (M&A or leveraged finance) and/or relevant private equity roles
• Strong academic background with a demonstrable record of high achievement
• Highly technical skillset, with the ability to independently build complex financial models and assess transaction structures
• Genuine interest in healthcare, life sciences and technology sectors
• Entrepreneurial mindset and appetite to help build out a growing London presence
• Strong cultural fit: collaborative, low-ego, intellectually curious and motivated by long-term partnership investing rather than short-term financial engineering
