About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Find, evaluate and acquire mobile applications and complementary SaaS businesses — build the models, run the processes and help make the case for why we should pull the trigger.
You'll work directly with founders, dig into their data, build the conviction case alongside our CIO, and help us decide where to deploy capital.
You'll source deals and take founder meetings, manage end-to-end deal processes, collaborate cross-functionally with our product, growth and monetization teams and help shape how we evaluate opportunities across partnerships and acquisitions.
Build and pressure-test investment cases — turn messy data into clear decisions on value, risk and structure.
Upgrade our modeling capabilities and templates — improve cohort models, valuation tooling, scenario analysis and IC-ready outputs.
Run a tight process — own timelines, push decisions forward and make sure the work gets finished to a high standard.

Requirements

What you’ll need

2–4 years in investment banking, corporate finance, or a buy-side role with hands-on deal experience.
Mobile app experience — you understand the app ecosystem, key metrics (MAU, DAU, retention curves, ARPU, LTV, CAC) and how mobile businesses work.
Exceptional financial modeling skills — you've built models from scratch, not just inherited and tweaked them.
Strong accounting and finance fundamentals — you understand how the three statements connect, you're comfortable with working capital adjustments, EV-to-equity bridges and purchase price mechanics.
Founder-facing presence — you build trust quickly, ask sharp questions and can lead conversations with calm confidence.
Confident, not arrogant — you can hold a strong point of view, change it fast when new information appears and keep the conversation productive.
Bias to action with good judgment — you move quickly, but you know when diligence and precision matter more than speed.
Highly analytical — you love digging into data, finding patterns and pressure-testing assumptions. Numbers are how you build conviction.
Strong communicator — you can simplify complexity, write clearly and present with confidence.
Comfortable with ambiguity — we're building and iterating constantly. You thrive when things aren't perfectly defined.
