Seeking Private Equity/LBO Associate for Southeast Based Firm‏

doing a search for an Associate for an LBO shop in the Southeast (FL) and they want people from investment banking or consulting backgrounds who graduated from business school this last year on in the last couple of years. The b-school has to be top tier and the consulting firm has to be BCG, Bain, McKinsey, LEK or Monitor and they must have touched private equity firms at some point in their career. Please let me know if you know anyone or can refer me to anyone from your consulting firm who might know people.



FUND DESCRIPTION / POSITION
This well-known, top decile performing, middle market private equity firm is looking to add a post-MBA investment professional (’06-’08 MBA graduates only) to its southeast office. The firm has a very strong track record of buyouts in traditional manufacturing and services businesses. Access to debt markets is not a problem for this fund and it is extremely active. The firm has a global footprint. The group has only two post-MBA titles (Associate and MD) and the promotional track is meritocratic and by level of responsibility. The group's culture is meritocratic but also very team oriented. Turnover is very low and potential compensation from carry is significant.

REQUIREMENTS
The ideal candidate will be a 2006 or 2007 MBA from a top 5 program (MBA absolutely required) and have 5 to 7 years of total work experience, including investment banking, traditional control LBO investing experience or management consulting. Ideally, consultants will come from top firms and have been exposed to financial sponsors.

COMPENSATION
Compensation will consist of a cash base and bonus, as well as carry and other long term equity incentives.



Thank you!
