Job description

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance / high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have :

  • Continuous learning :  Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
  • A voice that matters :  From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
  • Global community :  With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
  • World-class benefits :  On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.

In this role, you will have regional exposure (across geography, across industry) as well as the opportunity to build deep functional capability around due diligence and other topics related to investors.

You will grow into an expert role, leading teams on client projects including due diligences. Your career growth from there on will be to an associate partner role which will involve playing a greater leadership role within the practice.

Client project work typically includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing recommendations for presentation to client management. From there, you will implement those recommendations with client team members. You will work across other private equity / investor engagements including portfolio companies, firm strategy / organization and market scans.

You will be based in our Osaka or Tokyo office in Japan as part of our Private Capital (PC) practice. You will be an integral part of a client service team that serves a cluster of PC clients. You will work with analysts and engagement managers on project teams to drive client insights – including on due diligence, portfolio engagements and other client-based efforts.

You will join a firm that will challenge you and invest heavily in your professional development. You will have the opportunity to work on teams and help the best organizations in the world – across the private, public and social sectors – solve some of their most difficult problems.

  • Bachelor’s degree with consistent outstanding academic record; advanced degree or MBA / master's degree in finance is preferred
  • 2+ years of experience at a transaction advisory, corporate M&A, private equity or strategy consulting firm with exposure to investors and market & business due diligence processes
  • Understanding of the due diligence process having done at least a few diligences across various industries
  • Strong business sense and good understanding of investors’ transaction life cycle including market and business due diligence, and value creation planning
  • Excellent problem solving skills including the ability to disaggregate issues, identify root causes and recommend solutions
  • Excellent analytical skills; ability to understand the relevant analysis required to prove a hypothesis, gather information around it and make informed / logical assumptions where required
  • Strong financial modeling skills (e.g., industry / market sizing, growth driver analysis, company revenue model, etc.) for building and validating business projections
  • Ability to work with and coach effectively a diverse group of team members
  • Flexibility, patience and an understanding of fluid, demanding and unstructured environments where priorities evolve constantly and methodologies are challenged regularly; ability to work under pressure and deliver on tight deadlines
  • Fluency in English and Japanese
  • Create a job alert for this search
