Be part of Europe’s leading M&A intelligence platform

At NKP | M&A Insights, we equip top-tier private equity funds, M&A advisory firms, and other key stakeholders with the intelligence they need to close successful deals across Europe. As we expand our coverage and client base, we’re looking for a sharp, ambitious Associate to strengthen our core operational and client-facing team.

In this role, you will dive into live M&A markets, research high-potential companies, analyze deals, and engage directly with senior decision-makers — from fund partners to founders — in a highly international setting.


What you'll do

  • Curate and prepare our daily intelligence feed for specific markets and industry segments.

  • Research, analyze, and write M&A case studies by combining direct dialogue with investors, company owners, and advisory firms with thorough desk research.

  • Build and maintain relationships with clients and other key M&A stakeholders.

  • Identify, approach, and engage company owners to develop new cases.

  • Contribute to sales meetings, presentations, and other business development initiatives.

  • Take on ad-hoc research and administrative projects to support our fast-growing team.


What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in business, finance, or economics.

  • 0–2 years of professional experience — recent graduates welcome.

  • Exceptional communication skills and professional fluency in English (English as mother tongue or bilingual would be an advantage but not a requirement)

  • Sharp attention to detail and strong sense of ownership.

  • Ability to think on your feet and work with high energy in a fast-paced environment.

  • Genuine and documented interest in M&A, private equity, and the wider corporate finance landscape (can be academic and/or professional e.g. previous internships or student jobs)


Why join NKP | M&A Insights?

  • Front-row seat to the European M&A market — work directly with top-tier dealmakers.

  • International exposure across multiple markets and sectors.

  • Flat, entrepreneurial team structure where your ideas matter from day one.

  • Opportunity to grow with a market-leading SaaS platform that’s expanding rapidly
