Baltisse PE is a team of 6 professionals combining entrepreneurial leadership, consulting, international M&A and financing expertise. Our modern offices are located in Ghent

What will you do?

You will work in a challenging private equity environment allowing you to turn theory into practice:

  • You assist in assessing new investment opportunities, analyse companies, (sub)sectors and competitive landscapes to support lead generation and investment decisions primarily focused on the Benelux region;
  • You assist throughout the full acquisition process (i.e. due diligence, preparation of discussion materials for internal & external use); and
  • You support investment managers with the follow-up of existing portfolio companies (analysis of financial & operational KPIs) and add-on opportunities.

Who are we looking for?

In one word: excellence! In our view, this means top performing students & young graduates who are eager to gain practical experience in private equity.

  • You are in your last year of postgraduate studies or have just graduated (obtained a master’s degree – master of science in business or civil engineering, applied economics, etc.) and willing to kick-start your career;
  • You have shown exceptional performance (either academic or extra-curricular);
  • You have a strong analytical mindset and are proficient in Excel and crafting clear messages (effective PowerPoint slides is a plus);
  • You have strong financial knowledge, broad socio-economic interest and multi-lingual (English / Dutch / French) – Dutch is a spoken at the office;
  • Previous internship experiences is a plus, not a must; and
  • Above all, you are a team player, pragmatic, fluent communicator and a fun, positive person to work with.

We seek to achieve a win-win, so what do we offer you?

  • We offer you an internship opportunity to gain insights and working experience in the private equity industry (not like the books or movies, but how is it really like);
  • You will be a true member of our team, with own responsibilities & accountability, able to take initiative, and guided where needed;
  • We will invest time to train you & hone your professional skills; and
  • Remuneration in line with applicable employment law in Belgium

Interested?

If you can free yourself for a minimum of 3 months (preferably even longer), then you can send your resume, cover letter & your availability to info@baltisse.com. After a screening of your motivation & skills, interviews will be organized with PE team members

Looking forward to meeting you!
