• Creation and coordination of financial models and business valuations
• Conducting industry and company-specific due diligence related to transactions
• Attending client meetings
• Managing, development training and coaching of analysts and interns

• Enthusiasm to develop a career in the private equity secondary market
• Proven investment banking, secondary advisory or relevant financial services experience of a minimum of 2 years
• Experience in scoping and executing secondary transactions is advantageous
• Exceptional academic credentials
• Relevant professional qualification (e.g. CFA or ACA) is advantageous
• Firm grasp of asset and fund valuation methods
