About the Role

• Work with engineers to identify repeatable deal tasks, define automation requirements, and validate new workflows on live transactions.
• Build client relationships, advise clients, and take on more deals as software supports execution.
• Help hire and build the initial deal execution team.

What We're Looking For

• One to four years of experience, with M&A execution experience as an Analyst or Associate at a leading investment bank or advisory firm.
• Typically, one to two years in banking followed by meaningful experience at a high-growth startup, growth equity or venture capital firm, or small to midsize private equity fund.
• Ownership of live M&A transactions, including process management, client advisory, negotiation, and execution.
• Strong commercial judgment and client-facing skills, with the ability to earn trust and manage relationships independently.
• Ability to translate recurring manual work into clear software requirements and assess whether the resulting tools work in practice.
