Job Description

Evercore’s Private Capital Advisory (“PCA”) team advises private capital managers and investors on complex liquidity, portfolio and fund management solutions across the global secondary market.

Within PCA, the GP Advisory team works with General Partners to structure and execute bespoke liquidity and capital solutions for private equity assets and funds. The team advises sponsors throughout the transaction lifecycle, combining strategic advice, financial analysis, transaction structuring and access to a broad network of secondary market investors.

The team’s principal areas of activity include:

• Single-Asset Continuation Funds

• Multi-Asset Continuation Funds

• Equity Recapitalisations

• Tender Offers

GP-led secondary transactions sit at the intersection of investment banking, private equity and private capital markets. The team advises clients on situations requiring detailed analysis of underlying portfolio companies, fund structures, valuation, transaction dynamics and investor considerations.

The Opportunity

The GP Advisory team is seeking candidates to join its six-month Off-Cycle Internship Programme from January to June 2027.

Off-Cycle Interns will work as part of the deal team on live mandates and business development assignments, gaining direct exposure to the execution of GP-led secondary and structured transactions for private equity sponsors.

The internship is designed to provide experience comparable to the day-to-day responsibilities of an investment banking analyst. Interns will work alongside analysts, associates and senior bankers and will contribute to the financial analysis, transaction materials and execution work required to deliver advice to clients.

Given the nature of GP Advisory, interns will also develop an understanding of both the underlying portfolio companies being evaluated and the broader fund- and sponsor-level considerations that influence private capital transactions.

Responsibilities

Off-Cycle Interns may be involved in:

• Supporting the execution of GP-led secondary and structured capital transactions across the transaction lifecycle

• Performing financial modelling, valuation and analysis of portfolio companies, funds and transaction structures

• Conducting company, sector, sponsor and secondary market research to support live mandates and business development

• Preparing client presentations, transaction materials and investor-facing documentation

• Supporting investor outreach and the coordination of transaction workstreams

• Working closely with junior and senior team members on live mandates, pitches and strategic assignments

Interns will be expected to develop a strong understanding of the commercial rationale, valuation considerations and transaction mechanics underpinning each assignment, rather than operating solely in a process-support capacity.

Qualifications

We are looking for candidates who demonstrate:

• Strong analytical and quantitative ability

• A high level of attention to detail and accuracy

• Sound commercial judgement and intellectual curiosity

• Clear written and verbal communication skills

• The ability to organise and prioritise work effectively in a demanding transaction environment

• A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership of assigned work

• The ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative deal team

• A genuine interest in private equity, private capital advisory and the secondary market

Candidates should be motivated by the opportunity to work on complex transactions requiring both detailed company-level analysis and an understanding of broader private equity fund and capital dynamics.
