Why this seat is hard to fill.

This is a supporting seat, and it should be described that way. It does not replace your associates or sit on the investment committee. It takes the work underneath them: screening inbound teasers against the thesis, pulling comps from PitchBook or Capital IQ, summarising a confidential information memorandum into two pages, and keeping live models current as diligence numbers arrive. The analysts who do that fast and right already do it for banks, Big Four transaction teams, and regional funds in Latin America.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the private equity analysts who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Analysts who are fast and right in Excel are carrying a deal team right now, and their employer pays to keep it that way.
  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • A memorandum exercise: a sample information memorandum summarised in two pages, judged on what was caught and on whether anything was invented.
  • A live Excel exercise: a three-statement model with a planted error to find, and a comps table to update from PitchBook or Capital IQ output.
  • The same scorecard and reference checks we run on our own hires, with references from the people who actually managed them. We put forward only people we would hire ourselves.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

We say no more often than we say yes.

  • Your associates spend their evenings on screening and model upkeep.
  • Inbound deal flow outruns the team's ability to read it.
  • You want a supporting analyst with real modeling hours, not someone learning Excel on your deals.
  • You want to replace your associates or the investment committee's judgment.
  • You need someone to own investment recommendations.
  • You will not share models or memorandums with anyone outside the US office.
