Who we're looking for

To excel in this role, you'll need to be a self-starter who is ready to perform on day one. You'll need to be adaptable, and come in with ideas, suggestions, and the attitude that you're willing to try just about anything. In a small team like ours, everyone wears a lot of hats, and nothing is "not your job." The environment is dynamic, so you'll also need to be flexible and adaptable to change as we grow.

What you'll be doing

We're looking for a high-performing M&A Senior Associate to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity to work at a fast-paced, private equity-backed organization with a dedicated, passionate team. Given the small, tight-knit nature of the M&A team, this person will be an integral contributor helping execute Embark's rapid growth plans.

  • Conduct market, financial, and competitive research to identify opportunities that enhance long-term enterprise value
  • Coordinate cross-functional workstreams and external advisors throughout the transaction process
  • Draft letters of intent, investment committee memos, deal recommendations, and Board materials that clearly articulate rationale and impact
  • Review quality of earnings findings and evaluate net working capital pegs, purchase price adjustments, and other closing mechanics
  • Model deal structures including earnouts, seller notes, and rollover equity, and support negotiation of key economic terms
  • Partner with business leaders to ensure successful integration and onboarding of acquired companies and achievement of investment objectives
  • Support financing workstreams and prepare lender and sponsor reporting materials
  • Support broader corporate development initiatives, including applying AI tools to pipeline screening, diligence review, and deal reporting


The Ideal Candidate
  • Self-starter with a strong work ethic who holds themselves and others to high standards
  • Executive presence, comfortable in founder and owner conversations, and capable of building trust with management teams of closely held businesses
  • Excellent communicator, able to distill complex concepts concisely in writing, speech, and presentations


Qualifications / Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent; MBA or CFA welcome but not required
  • Location: Open to candidates in Eastern or Central time zones; Hybrid office policy if located in proximity to an Embark office
  • Travel: approximately 20%, primarily for management meetings, site visits, and post-close integration
  • 3 to 6 years of M&A experience at an investment bank, private equity firm, or corporate development team
  • Strong Excel modeling skills (full three-statement forecasting and LBO/returns analysis) and solid accounting fundamentals required
  • Familiarity with the full transaction lifecycle; due diligence, financial and business analysis, negotiation
  • Professional or business services M&A experience a plus, but not required
  • Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple deals and projects simultaneously


What's in it for you:
