M&A Analyst

The Role

Why This Role

• Broad transaction exposure. Work across the full lifecycle of acquisitions and investments rather than focusing on a narrow portion of the process
• A seat at the table. Work directly with senior executives and participate in the discussions that shape investment and capital allocation decisions
• Meaningful responsibility early. As part of a lean team, the Analyst will contribute meaningfully from day one and take on increasing ownership as they demonstrate capability
• Develop as an investor and business thinker. Build on core financial skills while developing judgment around businesses, markets, transaction structures and risk
• Operate in a dynamic industry. Evaluate opportunities in an evolving sector where regulatory change, market structure and competitive dynamics create complex strategic questions

What You'll Do

• Evaluate acquisition, investment and strategic opportunities through financial modeling, valuation, market research and business diligence, including analysis of transaction economics, returns, sensitivities and key operating assumptions
• Analyze target-company financial and operating information and coordinate diligence across internal teams and external advisors to develop an independent view of business performance, key risks and investment considerations
• Develop perspectives on opportunities and risks and translate analysis into concise recommendations and decision materials for senior leadership and the Board
• Support transactions throughout the full deal lifecycle, including initial evaluation, diligence, structuring, negotiation, documentation and closing
• Interact directly with company management teams, founders, investors, bankers, attorneys and other transaction counterparties
• Conduct market, industry, competitive and public-company analysis to identify trends, risks and potential investment opportunities and communicate relevant insights to leadership
• Improve the team's analytical tools, processes and use of technology, including AI, to increase the speed and quality of decision-making

What We're Looking For

• 2-4+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, principal investing or another analytically rigorous finance role
• Strong financial modeling, valuation and accounting skills, with the ability to turn incomplete or imperfect information into useful analysis
• Genuine interest in finance, investing and M&A; you enjoy understanding how businesses make money, digging into financial statements and operating data, building models and using quantitative analysis to answer business questions
• Excellent critical thinking and business judgment; naturally asks questions, challenges assumptions and focuses on what matters
• Intellectual curiosity and a desire to understand businesses, markets and transaction dynamics-not simply execute assigned analyses
• Resourceful and self-directed; comfortable taking an ambiguous question, determining how to approach it and driving toward an answer
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and produce high-quality work under tight timelines
• Strong written and verbal communicator who can distill complex analysis into concise, decision-useful conclusions
• Comfortable working with and developing relationships across levels of an organization, including senior executives
• High standards for accuracy, professionalism, discretion and integrity
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, accounting, mathematics or a related field

Prior cannabis experience is not required.

Additional Requirements

• Must pass all required background checks
• Must be and remain compliant with applicable legal and company requirements for working in the industry
• Must possess a valid driver's license
• Must be at least 21 years of age
