About the role
- Company Overview Regent is a global private equity firm focused on acquiring businesses and realizing exponential growth through operational improvements and strategic capital deployment.
- Since its inception, Regent has successfully acquired businesses from leading Fortune 500 and large-cap companies.
- Regent specializes in navigating distressed and complex situations - carve-outs, corporate divestitures, and turnaround opportunities - and driving value through hands-on operational involvement post-close.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate potential investment opportunities against Regent's strategic priorities, developing supporting investment theses and analysis
- Lead and drive the due diligence process on new investments, coordinating internal resources and third-party advisors (accounting, legal, commercial, operational)
- Build and own detailed, dynamic three-statement financial models to underwrite acquisitions, including scenario and downside analysis appropriate for distressed assets
- Advanced financial modeling skills, including building fully-linked, dynamic three-statement models and company valuations
Requirements
- 8+ years of relevant experience in private equity, investment banking (M&A/restructuring), or a related buy-side transaction environment
- Additionally, candidates must have flexibility to travel on a regular basis with short notice.
- The ideal candidate has deep experience with distressed and special-situations transactions and has personally been embedded in a portfolio company through a turnaround, not just underwriting one on paper.
Nice to have
- Demonstrated experience operating or directly overseeing a portfolio company post-acquisition - ideally a heavily distressed business managed through an active turnaround
- Strong command of distressed and special-situations concepts is strongly preferred
- Strong understanding of financial statements and valuation methodologies
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present to firm leadership and the Chairman directly
- High level of professionalism, integrity, discretion, and sound judgment
- comfortable operating with significant autonomy
- Graduate with a Bachelor's degree, preferably in business, finance, economics, or a related quantitative field
- Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills
Compensation
- $200,000-$300,000 base salary (range dependent on experience) + bonus
- Please include salary expectations with your resume.
