What You'll Be Doing

Eaton Partners’ 9-Week Summer Analyst Program provides undergraduates with a hands-on introduction to the role of an Analyst within Private Capital Advisory (“PCA”). Summer Analysts at Eaton Partners will develop the skills necessary to carry them through to the next level of their careers.

 

Eaton’s Private Capital Advisory platform is a leading advisor to private market investors seeking liquidity solutions through secondary transactions (GP-led and LP-led), direct equity and co-investment fundraises and GP-stakes. The team advises on a wide range of transaction structures including continuation vehicles, strip-sales, tender offers, annex funds, and others. PCA partners and collaborates with both the Eaton primary fundraising professionals as well as the Stifel industry and financial sponsors’ coverage teams to provide superior outcomes to our clients. The Summer Analyst Program provides students with a hands-on introduction where you will work alongside our deal team professionals, from the Analyst through the Managing Director levels, and will gain significant exposure to this career.

The program is structured to provide each Summer Analyst with the support needed for a successful summer, beginning with a robust training program.  There is also a formal mentorship program, social networking events, mid and end of summer reviews, and significant learning opportunities outside of your day-to-day projects.
