Analyst, Corporate Development and Capital Markets

Powerus is hiring a Capital Markets & M&A Analyst to support the team that raises capital and evaluates acquisitions for the company. You'll build the financial models, market maps, and diligence materials that inform how Powerus grows - whether that's a debt raise, an equity round, or bringing a new operating company into the portfolio. This is a hands-on analyst seat with direct exposure to live deals and strong visibility with the executive leadership team.

• Build and maintain financial models - DCF, comparable company, precedent transaction, LBO, and accretion/dilution - to support capital raises and acquisition evaluations.
• Support due diligence on acquisition targets: financials, contracts, cap tables, and operating metrics, working alongside legal, accounting, and the operating teams.
• Help prepare data rooms, management presentations, and investor materials for debt and equity raises.
• Research the autonomy, defense, and adjacent industrial markets to size opportunities and track potential targets and comparable transactions.
• Draft investment memos and board-level materials summarizing deal rationale, structure, and financial impact.
• Track integration milestones and post-close performance for acquired operating companies, feeding into consolidated reporting.
• Maintain the cap table, ownership schedules, and related waterfall analyses.
• Coordinate with outside bankers, lenders, counsel, and accountants as needed on live transactions.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field.
• 1-4 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, transaction advisory, or a similar finance role.
• Strong financial modeling and valuation skills, with advanced Excel proficiency.
• Working knowledge of the M&A process - sourcing, diligence, structuring, and closing.
• Clear, precise writing for memos and board materials; comfort presenting analysis to senior leadership.
• High attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple live work streams under deadline pressure.
• Willingness to travel occasionally to operating sites and counter parties.

• Prior exposure to the aerospace, defense, or industrial technology sectors.
• Progress toward the CFA designation or MBA.
• Familiarity with government contracting or regulated-industry M&A.
