Tech M&A Associate; In office, Austin

Scale View Partners is seeking an Investment Banking Associate to join our Austin team and play a central role in advising founder-led software companies on M&A and growth capital transactions.

As an Associate, you will work directly with senior bankers across every phase of a transaction, from financial analysis and positioning through buyer outreach, diligence, negotiation, and closing. This is a highly execution-oriented role with significant client exposure, meaningful responsibility, and the expectation that you will contribute judgment and insight, not simply produce materials.

Scale View Partners is a technology-focused investment bank built for founders, by founders. We advise capital-efficient, founder-led software companies on M&A and growth capital transactions.

Our perspective is shaped by having sat on every side of the table as entrepreneurs, investment bankers, private equity investors, and strategic acquirers. We combine deep transaction experience and software expertise with an understanding of what it means for a founder to navigate one of the most consequential decisions of their career.

• Work directly with clients and counter parties. Participate actively in client calls, management meetings, buyer discussions, and diligence sessions as a contributing member of the deal team.

• Strong SaaS financial and analytical skills. You can build and pressure-test the models and analyses that matter in software M&A, including recurring revenue, retention, cohort behavior, unit economics, revenue quality, and valuation.
• The ability to turn numbers into a story. You can move from a large dataset or financial model to the handful of insights that actually matter. You understand what drives value, what sophisticated buyers will scrutinize, and how to translate a company's financial performance into a credible, compelling investment narrative.
• Excellent communication skills. You write clearly, communicate concisely, and are comfortable interacting with founders, CEOs, senior investors, and other transaction professionals.
• Exceptional attention to detail and ownership. You catch errors before they leave your desk, anticipate what needs to…
