Arbor Capital Partners – Working Student Position
Company Description
Arbor Capital is a Buy and Build private equity fund founded by two large cap PE investors (ex-Bain Capital, Blackstone, SVP, 3i, and TowerBrook). We focus on Buy and Build platform investments in B2B and high value manufacturing industries in DACH and UK. Our source of differentiation lies in our operational approach to private equity: we believe in driving operational improvement, and partnering SMEs and founders to build durable, market-leading businesses.
Our first platform investment, Neuplaner, an audit, tax and accounting rollup has raised €100M from leading institutional investors, and acquires 7–10 firms p.a. We are currently working on 3 new platforms, which we aim to bring to market soon.
Job Role
We are looking for a Working Student (minimum 15 hrs/week; 20 preferred) to work across the full investment lifecycle, contributing at both the fund and platform level. We are looking for exceptional candidates, self-starters with drive, motivation, and track record of excellence. There is a possibility of transitioning to a full-time internship role.
