Analyst - Technology Due Diligence in M&A

Do you want to build unique competencies and a rewarding career in one of the fastest growing M&A advisories in Europe?

BearingPoint Capital is seeking Analysts to join our global M&A team in London, specifically within our Technology Due Diligence service.

As part of BearingPoint Capital, you will have the opportunity to fast-track your career in a start-up-like environment within a large organisation, gaining competencies and skills through a wide variety of challenging M&A projects for top-tier clients. Our client base is rapidly expanding and includes Private Equity firms, family offices, corporates, and strategic investors.

Our M&A service offerings are designed for companies where technology is central to the business strategy and investment thesis. You will join a highly skilled and driven team working on both local and international engagements. We are looking for high-performing candidates with a passion for technology to support our clients in technology due diligence and tech-enabled M&A advisory, distinct from corporate finance or valuation work.

• Client Engagement Preparation: Support the preparation of pitches, RFPs, and presentation materials. Participate in client meetings by taking notes and assisting with delivery, while maintaining confidentiality and professionalism.

• Tool & Platform Fluency: Use tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, CapIQ, PitchBook, and virtual data room platforms (e.g. Intralinks, Datasite) to support diligence coordination and process tracking.

• Practice Development: Contribute to local and global practice development activities, including refining methodologies and tools. Support business development efforts by preparing proposals and participating in strategic planning.

• Continuous Learning: Stay up to date on industry trends and best practices. Pursue relevant certifications and training to enhance your skills and knowledge.

• Team Collaboration: Foster a collaborative team environment by supporting peers, sharing knowledge, and participating in team-building activities.
