Associate Investment Manager Zürich Full-time

Job Description

Our company, a private equity secondaries investor based in Zurich, specializes in opportunities in the smaller, non-traditional secondaries market. In operation since 2019, our firm has achieved substantial growth, advising funds with significant commitments. Due to our recent fundraising triumphs and the promising investment opportunities ahead, we seek a new Associate to join our ranks. This position presents a fantastic chance for individuals to immerse themselves in one of the fastest growing and most progressive sectors of the private equity world, collaborating with an ambitious and entrepreneurial team.

Responsiblities

The role involves conducting due diligence on secondary investment opportunities, which includes market research, financial modeling, structuring, analysis of comparable companies, reference calls, and meetings with fund managers. The Associate will prepare investment recommendations to be presented to the investment committee. Post-acquisition, the Associate will monitor transactions and address any specific actions required. Additional duties involve supporting deal origination efforts and developing a personal network over time. The role also includes supervising and training analysts and interns.

Required Qualifications

Candidates should possess an excellent undergraduate degree in finance, economics, or natural sciences, alongside 2-4 years of work experience in a top-tier investment bank, ideally with exposure to private equity or investment analysis. Proven experience in market research and in analyses related to potential investments is essential. Advanced financial modeling skills, especially proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel, are required as well as a thorough understanding of financial statements and sound commercial judgment. The ideal candidate will be a team player with an entrepreneurial spirit, strong work ethic, and an ability to prioritize effectively. Fluency in English is required, with additional languages, particularly French, Italian or Nordic languages, being advantageous. The candidate must be eligible to work in Zurich, Switzerland.

Offer

By joining our team, you will work closely with the founders and experienced investment professionals in a successful and highly ambitious environment. We offer flat hierarchies and a meritocratic work culture. Employees benefit from competitive compensation, which includes a base salary, performance-based bonus, and carried interest.
