This is an opportunity for you to join CapMan in the role of Manager as part of the Group’s Strategy & Corporate Development function.

About the function

The Strategy & Corporate Development function plays a key role in driving CapMan’s long-term growth and operational development. The function leads CapMan's Group M&A and corporate development as well as the Group's long term financial planning. It is a small, senior team working directly with the group management, usually with several growth projects running in parallel.

As a Manager in Strategy & Corporate Development, you will report to and work closely with the Group CFO. Your daily tasks will include e.g.

• Managing M&A projects from opportunity screening to execution and integration, as well as external and internal corporate development initiatives

• Developing and maintaining long-term financial models and forecasts to support strategy, capital allocation and business planning

• Acting as a project leader, coordinating activities across investment teams, support functions and external advisors

• Assessing market trends, competitive dynamics and growth opportunities, providing insights and recommendations to senior management and the Board

• Facilitating group strategy processes, including identification of new opportunities, analysis, planning, documentation and follow-up of strategic priorities

• Preparing decision-making materials, business cases and presentations for senior management, the Board and other key stakeholders

Who you are

To be successful in this role we believe that you have:

• 5+ years of experience from working within investment banking, private equity, management consulting, corporate development, or similar

• Higher education degree in a relevant area

• Strong analytical skills with a good command of e.g. PowerPoint, Excel and Power BI

In addition, it is seen as a benefit if you bring some understanding of fund mechanics and private asset investments, along with genuine interest in the industry.
