Overview

We are supporting a private equity-backed buy-and-build platform executing a roll-up strategy across the environmental, agrifood, and infrastructure laboratory testing sector in Italy.

With multiple acquisitions currently in exclusivity, the project is entering a critical execution phase involving confirmatory due diligence, financing processes, and phased transaction completion throughout Q3. This is an opportunity to join a highly active deal environment and work directly alongside an experienced management team and investors on a complex cross-border consolidation strategy.

The role will support both transaction execution and broader commercial planning initiatives, with significant exposure to investment decision-making and operational strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and maintain integrated financial and operational models across multiple acquisition targets
• Support management with operational due diligence, commercial analysis, and business planning activities
• Prepare investment committee materials and transaction documentation for investors and lenders
• Assist with acquisition execution across a phased buy-and-build process
• Work closely with management teams, advisors, and investors throughout the deal lifecycle
• Coordinate information gathering and analysis across multiple founder-led businesses
• Support financing workstreams and investor reporting requirements
• Identify operational risks, synergies, and value creation opportunities across the platform

Key Requirements

• Strong background in investment banking, transaction services, or private equity,
• Advanced financial modelling and analytical capability, ideally within M&A or buy-and-build environments
• Experience supporting operational due diligence and strategic business planning processes
• Ability to operate effectively within fast-paced, entrepreneurial transaction environments
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across investors, management teams, and advisors
• Experience drafting investment committee materials and transaction presentations
• Prior exposure to cross-border transactions and founder-led businesses is advantageous
• Italian language skills are beneficial but not essential
• Experience within private equity-backed environments highly desirable
