As an Associate on the Mergers & Acquisitions ("M&A") team, you are responsible for all aspects of the investing process, with a focus on evaluating and buying attractive new SaaS companies for ASG. This role is both analytical and strategic. You will proactively analyze industries and companies to asses their attractiveness for ASG and ASG's existing portfolio companies. As deal process "go live", you will own the modeling and analysis of the deal, partner with the M&A team and cross-functional partners to project-manage the process, attend onsite diligence visits with business executives, and present deals to our investment committee.

• Work in a fun, entrepreneurial, and people-focused culture

We’re Excited About You Because:
