M&A Analyst

At Quantive, we don't just execute transactions - we transform companies and change Founders' lives. Since 2011, we've pioneered an approach that few other firms offer: systematically improving businesses before taking them to market, resulting in 35% average valuation increases and a 90% close rate that's unheard of in our industry.

We're seeking an exceptional M&A Analyst to join our integrated M&A Advisory and Business Performance Group (BPG) practice. This isn't your typical investment banking role - you'll gain exposure to both operational transformations AND transaction execution, developing expertise that no other firm can provide.
