About Circeus
Circeus is an AI-native holding company that acquires and scales mission-critical B2B software businesses globally. We serve more than 200,000 businesses across diverse verticals, focusing on high-retention, deeply embedded software.
Our model is to acquire high-quality SaaS companies and accelerate their performance through a centralised AI platform and proven operating playbooks. We focus on driving measurable revenue uplift, expanding margins and improving EBITDA through stronger go-to-market execution, pricing, automation and operational efficiency. We operate as long-term owners, continuously improving products and businesses through applied AI.
The Role
As a Value Creation Intern, you will work at the point where an acquisition becomes a high-performing portfolio company. Every deal we close needs to be integrated, transitioned and improved, and you will be hands-on across that entire journey.
You will support post-acquisition integrations, from migrating acquired companies onto our central HR and controlling systems to helping founders complete a clean handover. You will also work on the commercial and operational levers that drive value creation, including pricing, GTM optimisation, revenue synergies, cost efficiencies and EBITDA improvement.
You will work directly with our M&A and Value Creation teams, Managing Directors and the founders of the businesses we acquire. This role suits someone analytical and structured who wants to understand how businesses are actually operated, improved and scaled—not simply modelled.

What You'll Do
- Support the post-acquisition integration of newly acquired companies, including migration onto central HR, finance and controlling systems.
- Help manage founder transitions by structuring handover plans and ensuring critical knowledge is captured.
- Analyse GTM motions, customer segments and pricing across portfolio companies to identify and quantify revenue uplift opportunities.
- Support initiatives designed to improve conversion, retention, upselling and cross-selling.
- Build cost and profitability baselines and identify opportunities to improve margins and EBITDA.
- Track integration milestones and value creation KPIs, including revenue growth, gross retention, margin improvement and EBITDA performance.
- Prepare analyses and materials for value creation reviews and leadership decision-making.
- Work with our central AI team to identify where automation can increase revenue, accelerate integration and reduce operating costs.
- Support the implementation and measurement of value creation initiatives, ensuring identified opportunities translate into tangible financial results.
- Contribute to integration and operating playbooks so each acquisition performs better and integrates faster than the last.
What We're Looking For
- Currently studying or recently graduated in business, economics, finance, engineering or a related field.
- Strong analytical skills, with confidence structuring data and building clear analyses in Excel or Google Sheets.
- A good understanding of the relationship between revenue growth, margins, operating costs and EBITDA.
- A structured approach to project work, with the ability to track workstreams, deadlines and dependencies independently.
- Clear written and verbal communication, with the confidence to engage senior stakeholders and founders.
- Genuine ownership and a bias to action—you follow tasks through to completion.
- Comfort with ambiguity and switching context across multiple companies at once.
