Are you passionate about deal-making, growth strategy, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with executive leadership to shape the future of a high-growth platform? This is your opportunity to play a key role in an ambitious, acquisition-driven organization backed by top-tier private equity sponsors.

About the Opportunity

We’re building a leading regional services platform through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

If you’re energized by fast-paced environments, direct exposure to C-suite executives, and the opportunity to drive tangible business impact, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Own the deal pipeline — track, evaluate, and manage acquisition opportunities from initial contact through close.
• Run the numbers — build and refine financial models, perform valuations, and prepare board-level analyses.
• Drive execution — assist in structuring LOIs, coordinating diligence, and preparing investment committee materials.
• Partner across teams — work closely with Operations, Finance, and functional leaders to ensure smooth execution and integration.
• Research & identify targets — analyze markets and competitors to uncover new opportunities for expansion.
• Tell the story — create clear, data-driven reports and presentations for leadership and investors.

What You Bring

• 3 + years of experience in finance, accounting, investment banking, private equity, consulting, or transaction advisory.
• Deep understanding of corporate finance, valuation, and modeling techniques.
• Strong command of Excel and PowerPoint (CRM tools such as Salesforce a plus).
• Exceptional organizational skills and ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; advanced credentials (MBA, CPA, CFA) a plus.

Why This Role

• Direct exposure to executive leadership and active deal-making from day one.
• Accelerated learning and career growth within a PE-backed, acquisition-focused environment.
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture that values curiosity, grit, and results.

If you thrive on challenge, ownership, and growth, this is your chance to help build something exceptional.
