Private Equity Intern - German Speaking (m/f/d)

CONSTELLATION is one of Switzerland’s leading investment firms. We seek to create positive economic impact and long-term value for our investors, the companies we invest in, and the communities in which we work. Ever since the foundation of CONSTELLATION in 1992, we cooperate at “Eye Level” with Entrepreneurs, Founders, and Management. The three squares of our CONSTELLATION logo stand for the three essential elements of a successful Business Constellation: STRATEGY, FINANCE & EXECUTION. Effectively supporting in those areas, we solve our clients’ problems by sitting on the same side of the table. Through this method, we gain a more comprehensive understanding of our Partner’s situation from the entrepreneur’s point of view, which leads to mutual understanding and trust. This relationship improves the quality of the collaboration and investment decisions. We actively support Entrepreneurs with the development of their companies to become market leaders with a wide range of support services: - Succession Planning - M&A / Buy-&-Build Strategies - Digital Transformation - Internationalisation - Organisational Development - Network - Industry Partners
