Job Title: Senior Mergers & Acquisitions Analyst | Req : 17447 Location: Chicago Office IL

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a Senior Analyst to join our M&A team in Chicago. This is a high-visibility, execution-focused seat supporting transactions end-to-end from valuation and diligence through structuring, documentation, and close. The right candidate is a strong modeler who can own work streams independently, synthesize complex financial and commercial information, and produce decision-ready materials for senior stakeholders and the investment committee.

This role suits someone ready to step up from a pure analyst function into greater ownership, direct advisor and management interaction, and broader responsibility across the deal lifecycle.

WHAT YOU'LL ACCOMPLISH

• Build and maintain complex financial models of valuation (DCF, comparable company, precedent transaction), returns analysis, and integrated operating models.
• Develop EBITDA bridges, quality-of-earnings interpretation, debt capacity and leverage analysis, and sources & uses.
• Coordinate and manage due diligence work streams (financial, commercial, operational, tax, legal), including oversight of third-party advisors and QofE providers.
• Assist with preparing investment committee materials and the accompanying deal narrative translating analysis into a clear, defensible thesis.
• Support purchase agreement review and provide analytical inputs into negotiation (e.g., working capital, net debt, purchase price adjustments, earn-outs).
• Analyze complex structures including carve-outs, standalone cost, TSAs, and synergy cases.
• Own data room management, diligence trackers, and deliverable timelines across multiple concurrent deals.
• Interface directly with target management, advisors, and internal stakeholders.
• Owns assigned work streams with minimal direction and flags issues early.
• Produces clean, EXCO-ready analysis and narrative under real deadlines.
• Builds credibility quickly with advisors, management teams, and internal leadership.
• Operates as a reliable second set of hands across live deals trusted with judgment, not just execution.
• Other responsibilities as assigned
• Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.
