Description

At Valsoft, our mission is to acquire and nurture vertical software businesses that deliver mission-critical solutions in their niche markets. Since our founding in 2015, we've acquired over 84 businesses, and our global family now comprises more than 2,500 employees across 20+ countries. Our unique model fosters an environment of rapid growth, providing you with unparalleled opportunities to shape your career.

This role offers a unique opportunity to focus on high-impact work post-term sheet, collaborating closely with the investment team on due diligence, integration, and select pre-LOI analyses — without less focus on heavy BD work.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform pre-due diligence financial and operational analysis on acquisition targets
  • Lead and manage full due diligence workstreams (financial, commercial, operational)
  • Build and refine financial models; perform QoE, working capital analysis, and other critical assessments
  • Support integration planning and execution, collaborating with internal and portfolio company teams
  • Develop insights and deliver clear recommendations to senior investment leaders
  • Assist with internal investment memos and presentations
  • Join calls with sellers, advisors, and internal stakeholders

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
