This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated finance professional with 3+ years of corporate finance or financial consulting experience to join a successful Private Equity (PE) firm. This will be an Associate level hire into the PE firm’s long‑term leadership development program.

The ideal candidate is curious, persistent, and gritty—ready to roll up their sleeves and help create a lasting impact across the company. The Associate will be ideally based out of the Western Washington area.

  • M&A Diligence : The Associate will support due diligence efforts for potential M&A opportunities, assessing strategic fit, financial performance, operational synergies, and cultural alignment to inform executive decision‑making and mitigate acquisition risks.
  • ROI Analysis for Capital Expenditures : Supporting the Senior Leadership Team, the Associate will leverage financial modeling capabilities to conduct ROI analysis for capital expenditure proposals, evaluating financial viability, payback periods, and strategic alignment to support data‑driven investment decisions and maximize long‑term value.
  • Product Pricing Analysis : The Associate will evaluate market trends and internal cost structures to identify opportunities for competitive product pricing, enhancing margin performance while maintaining market positioning and customer value perception.
  • Enhance Planning Processes : The Associate will collaborate with the finance, operations, and commercial teams to enhance the business’s long‑term planning processes, aligning strategic goals with market dynamics and operational capabilities to drive improved forecasting, resource allocation, and business agility.
  • Ideal Candidate Background

  • 3+ years of professional experience; ideally in Corporate Leadership Development Programs, Management Consulting, Investment Banking, Big‑4 Public Accounting Firms, or manufacturing businesses.
  • Strong analytical expertise and financial modeling skills.
  • Strategic thinking and ability to identify operational and structural synergies to drive value in a merged environment.
  • High EQ & communication skills; comfortable collaborating with cross‑functional teams, from plant‑level management to C‑suite executives.
  • Tenacity & grit; willing to dive into complex problems, persist in facing challenges, and drive initiatives to completion.
  • Curiosity & adaptability; eager to learn about diverse processes, willing to innovate, and flexible in adopting new methods to achieve integration goals.
  • Additional Information

  • Target base salary range of $130k to $160k (depending on experience level).
  • Annual cash bonus target of 50%.
  • Weekly travel required; candidate must live locally in Western Washington.
  • 401(k) plan with employer match.
