  • Clearly communicate your findings, highlighting investment theses, risks, and key drivers to support informed decision-making.
  • Monitor and evaluate existing investments, staying alert to emerging opportunities and risks.

Your Background:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or similar (or equivalent experience).
  • A minimum of 5 years experience in investment analysis, equity research, private equity, investment banking, or a related financial role.
  • Advanced Excel skills; familiarity with Python or other programming and data tools is a plus.
  • Solid knowledge of financial statements, SEC filings, and valuation methodologies.
  • Strong analytical skills, intellectual curiosity, and an ability to work independently.

Bonus Points:
