Career

full-time, permanent position

Why EMERAM? 
Very simple...

• From consultant to creator: You accompany our portfolio companies over a longer period of time and drive their development. You take responsibility and contribute your experience and ideas. With flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths, you can make a big difference with us.
• Versatile activities - steep learning curve: We develop you into an investment generalist. With us, you will work on deals from the very beginning, manage portfolio companies and look at different industries. The result: versatile activities (e.g. deal sourcing, entry transaction, due diligence, value creation and exit) and a steep learning curve.
• EMERAM platform: You work directly with the founders and C-levels of our portfolio companies and learn from highly competent managers, first-class advisors and experienced investment professionals. And you build up an excellent network.
• Long-term perspective: We have a long-term perspective not only for our portfolio companies. We also see a clear career path for you as an investment professional, all the way to partnership.
• Investment in you: We believe in your potential and invest in you with a wide range of training and coaching. An EMERAM partner will be at your side as a Career Advisor.
• Flexibility & Trust: We trust in your effort and commitment and offer you great flexibility. We work hybrid in the modern EMERAM offices in Munich and Kitzbuehel, from home or sometimes even on the road.
• One Team: We like to work and celebrate together and spend time at diverse team events and outings.

Your responsibilities

• You will be involved at every phase of the investment cycle: from identifying and initially evaluating investment opportunities to executing the deal, serving as a business development partner and exiting from the transaction. 
• Part of your job is to develop and screen new investment opportunities. You will do so by applying your entrepreneurial mindset, business acumen and showing a high level of initiative and interest. 
• You model and evaluate investment opportunities and meet and evaluate their management teams. 
• You make a significant contribution to all areas of transaction execution – in market and financial due diligence, deal structuring and contract negotiations. 
• You also oversee individual portfolio companies from the beginning and drive and monitor various value creation programs at these companies. 
• You prepare documents for internal investment decision-making committees and actively support the committee discussions. 

Your profile 

• You have an excellent university degree and some professional experience in private equity, corporate finance, or strategy consulting. 
• You will ideally have knowledge about financial modelling and the evaluation of business models. 
• You apply your strong analytical skills and strategic thinking in a targeted manner and exhibit sound business and investment judgement. 
• You are well-organised and work efficiently, reliably, and accurately, even under heavy workloads and tight deadlines. 
• You are a born team player who helps foster team spirit with a positive attitude, integrity, and a willingness to take responsibility and leadership.
• You are always open to new and better solutions and aim to constantly develop your skills and knowledge.
• With full professional fluency in English and German (written and spoken), you communicate confidently and assertively with more experienced team members and managers. 
• You show great commitment and set high goals for yourself not only at work but also in your free time.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Our Managementpool is a select group of highly qualified and experienced managers. If we have a new vacancy in our portfolio – whether permanent or temporary – we first approach members of our Management Pool before searching the external market for a suitable candidate. We will stay in close contact with you and report regularly on the latest developments in our portfolio. You will thus remain informed about EMERAM and current vacancies.

The basic qualifications for inclusion in the Managementpool and a leadership position in our portfolio companies are an excellent (business) degree and many years of experience in fields such as finance or operations, a sound understanding of key commercial, sales, and digital/technological issues and contexts, international experience and very good German and English language skills. We are also interested in your specific professional skills and information about relevant positions that you may have held during your career!

C-level or board positions also require proven success in comparable management positions – as a proven contact person for customers and other stakeholders, as a leader and role model with whom the team can identify. Or as a sparring partner and coach for the operations leadership team, perhaps by serving on an advisory board. 

Please apply here if you are interested and qualified.
