Business Analyst - Private Capital

• Paris

Who You'll Work With

You will work in our office in Paris as part of our McKinsey’s Private Capital practice.

Our practice is the world’s leading advisor to the Private Equity and Principal Investing industry. This team works with investors of all types: PE firms, distressed debt/credit investors, hedge funds, real estate, and infrastructure firms, as well as the institutional investors these alternative investment managers serve, including pensions, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and endowments.

We serve these clients across the deal cycle, assisting with deal identification, due diligence, and portfolio company operational improvements, as well as on firm-level topics of strategy, governance, and operations. Our practice is deeply integrated into the global firm, serving investors in all geographies, including developed, developing, and “frontier” markets. The PE Analyst role is a unique opportunity for an early-career professional to gain significant exposure to the Private Equity industry (and to other types of investors more broadly) and to build a broad, deep skill set in financial and business analysis.

What You'll Do

You will work individually and in teams to support our clients’ investment decisions in the due diligence process and other private equity/investor work.

You will have the opportunity to assess and identify market attractiveness, provide targeted information and specialized financial analysis on potential Acquisitions, prepare and deliver high-impact verbal and written communication of your synthesized findings.

You will work across other private equity/investor engagements, including support for portfolio companies, firm strategy/organization, market scans, etc., and you'll be a subject matter expert on topics related to our service to investors. You'll be recognized as a valuable resource of experience, information and expertise both inside the firm and by our clients.

Additionally, you will enhance the practice’s current awareness of developments in the PE and institutional investor domain and develop new service offerings for both internal and external clients to help grow our practice. Once you are established, you will become a leader and a mentor to junior colleagues.
