About you:

• 2+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or a related field
• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, with experience evaluating complex transaction opportunities
• Familiarity with financial services or FinTech is a plus; insurance or InsureTech experience is a bonus

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, comfortable managing multiple workstreams at once
