Private Equity Analyst
About The Position
The Private Equity team is intentionally small, meaning junior professionals work directly with senior investors on all aspects of the investment process - sourcing, diligence, structuring, execution, and portfolio oversight—rather than being layered beneath multiple levels of hierarchy. This structure provides significantly broader responsibility and exposure than a traditional private equity associate role. We are seeking a highly analytical, resourceful, and intellectually curious Private Equity Analyst to join our investment team in the New York office. This is a junior, entry-level role well suited for a recent graduate with a strong quantitative background. Prior finance experience is not required. The ideal candidate will have a strong academic background in Mathematics, Physics, Quantitative Finance or related quantitative field from a top college or university. The firm is prepared to provide the necessary finance and investment training for the right individual, with the expectation that this is a full-time, long-term role rather than a short-term training program.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree from top academic institution
- Required majors: Mathematics, Physics, Quantitative Finance or related quantitative field
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with demonstrated comfort working with complex data
