Analyst/Senior Analyst - IB

The Opportunity

FE International is a leading technology-focused M&A advisory firm specializing in transactions across SaaS, consumer internet, and e-commerce. We advise founders, private equity sponsors, and institutional sellers on high-impact transactions. Compensation is competitive and benchmarked to top-tier investment banking and transaction advisory roles in India, with performance-based upside. This is a hands-on role spanning the full M&A lifecycle, from valuation and positioning through live process execution, buyer negotiations, diligence coordination, and closing. You will work directly with senior team members on active mandates, and your output will be used in client-facing materials and buyer interactions. You will play a key role in supporting execution across multiple live mandates, working closely with senior team members to ensure processes run efficiently and materials are delivered to a high standard.

Application Process

The application process includes a rigorous, multi-step assessment designed to evaluate technical capability, attention to detail, and ability to operate in a live deal environment. This role is intended for top-performing candidates who have demonstrated the ability to operate at a high level in demanding, execution-focused environments.
