nvestment Analyst Intern - Edinburgh

LeapFrog invests in high-growth companies in Africa and Asia, delivering financial services to the next billion emerging consumers.  In every investment, LeapFrog pursues profit-with-purpose: We simultaneously target top-tier investment returns and helping to provide low-income people with protective and enabling financial tools – including insurance, savings and pensions.  Today our portfolio companies reach over 19.5 million people across 14 countries including India, Indonesia, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa.  LeapFrog has attracted several of the world’s leading banks, funds and reinsurers as investors, and recently announced the $200 million first close of our second fund.

We look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in joining out high-impact and entrepreneurial team.  Be ready to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty – the role will include everything from working directly with partners on investments and other key projects to providing whatever support the deal team requires on the ground.  You can expect to lead industry and company analysis, liaise with target companies, portfolio companies, external advisors and other key stakeholders, build financial models, perform due diligence, and assist in portfolio management.

To be considered, you must have at least 2 years of experience in corporate finance or management consulting, strong financial analysis skills, and track-record of success across all of your professional and personal endeavors.  Ideal candidates will currently be pursuing an MBA or similar degree.  The internship will be for 8 weeks between June & July 2014 and will be based in Edinburgh.

Please provide a CV and a Cover Letter detailing why you would be a great fit for this role.  Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.  Please email your applications to the attention of Dréa Wood at jobs@leapfroginvest.com.
