ABOUT EVERGREEN

Your responsibilities will include assessing and identifying new acquisition opportunities, performing analyses and building financial models, managing service providers (accountants, consultants, lawyers etc.) and driving acquisitions to close, as well as supporting our businesses post-acquisition. Empowerment is one of our three core values and this is reflected in the type of work and ownership that analysts do at Evergreen.

This role is an unparalleled opportunity that will allow you to be an integral part of a lean deal team, interface directly with external parties like business owners, investment banks and capital providers, as well as work closely with Evergreen’s platform company CEOs.
