• Coordinate internal stakeholders and external advisors/counterparties during diligence and execution, particularly across Japan and North Asia.

Requirements:

• 1–5 years in management consulting (incl. Big 4 preferred) or related corporate finance/M&A/valuation experience; demonstrable exposure to financial analysis and deal execution.
• Prior exposure to portfolio value creation, post-investment initiatives, or strategic project
  work is highly desirable.
• Strong modelling/valuation skills and written communication to produce clear, structured, executive-ready outputs.
• North Asia/Japan exposure is a plus.
