Your team
Pictet Alternative Advisors (PAA) is a prominent alternative investment specialist and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Pictet Group, with expertise spanning hedge funds, private equity, and global real estate. With teams located worldwide, PAA constructs, manages, and advises on portfolios of alternative investment solutions tailored for institutional and private clients. The Group is keen to drive further development for PAA in the coming years, particularly by broadening its product offerings to include additional asset classes and enhancing its institutional client base. The Pictet Group currently manages USD 46bn in alternative assets, including more than USD 30bn in private equity.
In 2023, Pictet launched its first direct private equity fund, targeting mid‑market European buyout opportunities. The fund typically invests equity tickets of €20‑80 million into businesses with enterprise values of up to €200 million. Our primary focus is the UK and DACH regions, investing in founder‑and‑entrepreneur‑led middle‑market companies (€3‑15 million EBITDA) across the B2B services, education & training, and industrial sectors.
Your role
- Deal origination, market analysis & screening: contribute to pipeline building and deal sourcing, primarily in the UK & DACH, and conduct primary market research & analysis to aid in the initial evaluation of potential acquisition targets.
- Deal execution: actively contribute to the entire deal process for new investments including all due diligence areas (financial, commercial, legal, tax, technology, etc.) and support drafting of investment memos and setting up financial analysis models.
- Portfolio monitoring: support the management of a diversified portfolio of direct investments, collaborating internally and with portfolio company employees and external consultants to implement value‑creation initiatives and assist in preparing quarterly performance reports.
Your profile
- Graduated (or due to graduate) from a top‑tier educational institution.
- Previous internship(s) or full‑time experience in demanding work environments such as private equity, investment banking or consulting at leading firms.
- Proven strong financial modelling skills and proficiency in MS Office (particularly Excel and PowerPoint) and familiarity with AI tools.
- Strong ability to analyse complex financial data and market trends, combined with a proactive, solution‑oriented approach to identifying and pursuing new business opportunities.
- Proven ability to communicate clearly and build strong working relationships, effectively collaborating with colleagues and managing interactions with internal and external stakeholders.
- Fluency in German and English, written and spoken is mandatory.
In addition to strong technical skills, the ideal candidate is enthusiastic, energetic, mature, and results‑driven, with a high level of integrity and a collaborative mindset. The successful candidate will work closely with a seasoned investment team in an entrepreneurial, start‑up‑style environment within one of the world’s leading private financial institutions. This role offers hands‑on exposure to the full UK and European deal‑making process, providing rapid learning and direct training from professionals with extensive experience in private equity, investment banking, and consulting.
