Investment Banking Intern

About the Role

Saintrose Capital is a technology-driven boutique investment bank. This is a full-time, paid, remote internship built for students and recent graduates seeking hands-on experience on live sell-side mandates. The intern will receive a percentage of the advisory fees generated on the deals they contribute to.

Key Responsibilities

As an M&A Intern, you will support live sell-side mandates alongside the partner in charge of each deal. Your responsibilities span four core areas:

• Owner intake & qualification: Respond to business owners, call them, qualify them, and book them onto the partner's calendar. You start by supporting origination and can grow into managing it.
• Deal execution support: Help collect financials and information from the owner, normalize numbers, and build materials: teaser, CIM, management presentation, and data room.
• Buyer engagement: Call private equity firms, family offices, and strategic acquirers, pitch acquisitions, manage NDAs and data room access, and help set up management meetings.
• Pipeline & process management: Keep the CRM up to date, prepare process updates for owners, and track every buyer from first call to IOI and LOI.
