About The Position

Blackstone's corporate private equity business, with $165 billion in assets under management, has been a global leader since 1985. The business focuses on uncovering value by identifying great companies and enhancing their performance through strategic capital and outstanding management talent. The goal is to grow stronger enterprises, create jobs, and enable portfolio companies to build lasting value for investors, employees, and stakeholders. The Analyst Program offers a unique opportunity to develop a comprehensive skill set combining the financial acumen of investment banking with the strategic insight of management consulting. Analysts are involved in the full investment lifecycle, from sourcing and evaluating investments to executing transactions and supporting portfolio companies. Due to the relatively small team size, Analysts take on significant responsibilities within deal teams, playing integral roles in the development, structuring, and financing of transactions. They participate in internal meetings, negotiations, and due diligence sessions, gaining hands-on experience and exposure to critical decision-making processes. This immersive environment fosters professional growth and equips Analysts with essential skills in financial analysis, strategic thinking, and operational insight. Blackstone Capital Partners (BCP) offers Analysts a unique opportunity to engage in the acquisition of large-cap and midsized companies across a variety of sectors.
