About Pavago

At Pavago, we are hiring on behalf of a fast-growing, founder-led investment banking firm focused on delivering high-quality M&A and capital markets services. This is a rare opportunity to work directly with experienced entrepreneurs on live transactions while contributing to the foundation and growth of a dynamic new firm.

Responsibilities

Deal Execution & Client Support

  • Lead financial modeling and valuation analyses, including LBO models, working capital pegs, and 3-statement forecasts.
  • Develop high-impact client-facing materials such as Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs), strategic presentations, and pitch decks.
  • Manage transaction workflows and ensure seamless execution with internal teams and clients.

Market & Financial Research

  • Conduct deep market research including industry and competitor analysis using raw datasets to extract insights in niche sectors.
  • Stay informed on capital market trends and key developments that influence deal strategy and structuring.

Collaboration & Firm Building

  • Work closely with Managing Directors, founding partners, and clients to assess strategic alternatives and execute deals.
  • Contribute to recruiting, internal process building, and creating standard templates and frameworks that support firm growth.
  • Participate in firm-building initiatives, including marketing materials, playbooks, and operational improvements.

What Makes You a Perfect Fit

  • You’re entrepreneurial, resourceful, and thrive in a high-performance but non-traditional banking environment.
  • You bring a high level of ownership and independence without the need for micromanagement.
  • You are excited to help build a firm from the ground up while gaining direct exposure to live deals and senior leadership.

Required Experience & Skills

  • 1–2 years of investment banking experience or comparable transaction experience (top-tier consulting, sell-side equity research, or transaction advisory considered).
  • Strong technical skills in financial modeling, PowerPoint, and data analysis.
  • Proven ability to work with raw client financials and build detailed transaction models.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills with strong professional presence.
  • Demonstrated intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and problem-solving abilities.

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

  • Start your day reviewing deal pipeline priorities with the Managing Director.
  • Dive into a new model build or client presentation draft for an active M&A deal.
  • Conduct a niche industry analysis for an upcoming capital raise.
  • Join a strategy call with a founder and prepare a draft pitch deck based on that discussion.
  • Collaborate with a teammate to refine firm templates or recruiting materials.
  • Wrap up with updates to key stakeholders or revisions to a CIM for final review.

Interview Process

  1. First Round: Initial interview with a Managing Director focused on your technical background and deal experience.
  2. Final Interview: A final round with leadership for alignment and decision-making.
