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 aim to increase company value by adopting an active shareholder strategy, focusing on value creation and governance topics.

What the job involves

1. Proactively screen and identify suitable target companies for potential investment opportunities.
2. Perform investment assessments, including developing comprehensive financial models for valuation and acquisition structuring.
3. Support and drive due diligence processes in collaboration with external advisors and synthesize key insights for inclusion in Investment Memorandums.
4. 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; candidates must be willing to relocate and reside there full-time for a few years. A later relocation to Munich can be considered.
