Business Analyst - Private Capital

Your impact within our firm

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.

This role differs from McKinsey’s generalist Business Analyst role in its focus. This role focuses entirely on serving investor clients (though because our clients invest across sectors and types of companies, the role still offers exposure to a wide variety of sectors and functional levers). PE Analysts will be staffed full time to client engagements, with the majority of work in private equity due diligence.
