• Highly motivated, proactive, and able to work independently in a fast‑paced, PE‑savvy environment with grit and hustle.

Why Join Us?

We have a no secrets environment with most of our operations; you will learn almost every aspect of what it would be like to work in a Private Equity Firm.

All of this to say,

• If you are a stellar performer, we will hire you and work for us full time.
• We operate in a no B.S environment. What we see, you can see. First Quantity and then work towards quality.
• We will let you go if you don’t meet our expectations. Sorry, it’s hard industry and mediocrity comes with a price.
• Do not apply if you don’t have grit and hustle. Opportunity Description is a guideline and not final.
• The directors read every application. Using AI to write overly professionally or giant slop of text will get you disqualified.
• Don’t upload CV’s, a short paragraph with your qualification + what you can help with is more than enough (no more than 10 lines). Please don’t spam us on social media.
