# Investment Associate

At Your.Online, investments are the engine of our buy-and-build strategy. As an Investment Associate, you will play a key role in sourcing, evaluating, and executing acquisitions that expand our portfolio of 90+ digital businesses across Europe and North America.\
\
Your work will directly contribute to long-term value creation by identifying high-quality companies, executing disciplined transactions, and strengthening our position across the [Presence](https://your.online/presence/), [Performance](https://your.online/performance/), and [Trust](https://your.online/trust/) segments.

**The role in our strategy**\
Your.Online operates a decentralized model: local companies retain operational autonomy, while the group provides capital, expertise, and structure to accelerate sustainable growth.\
\
The Investment Team is central to this model. It ensures that every acquisition aligns with our long-term vision, strengthens our platform, and contributes to scalable value creation.

In this role, you will:

- Independently lead smaller transactions and support larger deals across the full M&A lifecycle.
- Build and maintain a strong network of advisors, founders, and intermediaries to drive deal flow.
- Translate market insights into actionable acquisition strategies and target pipelines.
- Collaborate with Finance, Legal, and segment teams to execute high-quality transactions.
- Contribute to shaping Your.Online’s acquisition roadmap across geographies and segments.

This is a high-impact role with direct influence on the growth, direction, and performance of the group.

**Your key responsibilities**

- **Deal execution** – Lead end-to-end M&A processes for smaller transactions and support larger deals, from origination to closing.
- **Financial analysis & valuation** – Build financial models, perform valuations, and develop investment proposals to support decision-making.
- **Deal sourcing & network development** – Establish and maintain relationships with M&A advisors, founders, and industry stakeholders to generate high-quality deal flow.
- **Market intelligence** – Identify trends, new markets, and emerging opportunities to strengthen the acquisition strategy.
- **Strategic contribution** – Provide input on the group’s acquisition roadmap and long-term growth strategy.

**Success in the first year**

- Closed transactions – Successfully lead and close multiple smaller deals, contributing directly to portfolio expansion.
- High-quality deal flow – Build a strong and active network resulting in a consistent pipeline of relevant acquisition opportunities.
- Execution excellence – Deliver well-structured financial analyses, investment proposals, and due diligence processes.
- Strategic impact – Contribute to refining acquisition strategies through market insights and target identification.

**Your profile**

- Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Econometrics, Business, or another quantitative discipline.
- 2–5 years of experience in private equity, M&A, corporate finance, transaction services, or venture capital.
- Strong analytical and financial modeling skills, with experience in valuation and deal execution.
- Hands-on and entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to manage multiple processes simultaneously.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Fluent in English and Dutch (another European language is a plus).

**What we offer**

- Strategic impact – A role where your work directly drives acquisitions, growth, and long-term value creation.
- Professional growth – Exposure to international M&A, investment strategy, and collaboration across segments.
- Entrepreneurial environment – Work within a fast-growing, decentralized platform alongside experienced dealmakers.
- Hybrid working – Based in Amsterdam, with flexibility to balance collaboration and productivity.
- Competitive compensation – Salary, performance bonus, and benefits aligned with your experience and contribution.
