About the Role

A good acquisition decision begins with someone looking closely. At Buena, you are that person: you understand the company, question assumptions, identify risks and justify what price we should pay.

You are responsible for the due diligence of property management companies we want to acquire: from the initial review of the data room through the valuation and presentation to the Investment Committee, to the financial and operational schedules for the purchase agreement. When the Committee goes into detail, you know the company and can substantiate your recommendation.

Our process is established. Now we are looking for someone who takes responsibility for the quality of the analyses, independently manages the due diligence and develops our process further as we grow.

About Buena

Buena acquires property management companies and digitalizes them with proprietary software. We combine acquisitions, operational experience and technology to make property ownership and management simpler.

M&A is a central part of this strategy. The companies we buy become part of Buena. That is why our understanding of their numbers, contracts, teams and processes goes far beyond completing a transaction.

Your Responsibilities

• Understand the company behind the data room. You consolidate financial data, contracts, property lists and employee information. You identify gaps, follow up on inconsistencies and clarify open questions with the sellers until a reliable overall picture emerges.

• Derive the valuation on a sound basis. You analyze the economic development, work with our purchase price models and review the underlying assumptions. You show what your findings mean for the purchase price and the investment decision.

• Represent your results to the Investment Committee. You condense the due diligence into a clear assessment of opportunities, risks and open questions and present it directly to the decision-makers.

• Support the details through to closing. Together with our M&A lawyer, you prepare the financial and operational schedules for the purchase agreement and ensure that the information is accurate.

• Stand behind the quality. You review the contributions of our interns, identify errors early and take responsibility for the finished analysis.

• Develop the process further. You get to know our playbooks, implement them carefully and contribute your own ideas on how we can better organize data rooms, analyses and decisions.

You are a good fit if

• You have already worked on transactions. Ideally you bring one to two years of experience as an analyst in a transaction environment, in private equity or venture capital. Solid internship experience can also be relevant. What matters is how deeply you were involved in the work and what responsibility you feel ready to take on now.

• Your analytical foundations are solid. You are confident in Excel, can interpret financial data and understand valuation concepts such as equity bridge and discounted cash flow analysis.

• You pursue the decisive details. A number that cannot be traced, or a contract clause with unexpected consequences, is a reason for you to look more closely.

• You can explain your judgment. You handle follow-up questions with composure, distinguish reliable findings from assumptions, and change your assessment when new information requires it.

• You take responsibility. You keep the process moving, consistently follow up on open points and ask for support when it is needed.

• You feel comfortable in a direct, informal environment. You bring careful work from the transaction environment into a startup and help shape how we work.

You can learn the specifics of property management and our internal processes with us. Startup experience is not a requirement.

Why Buena

Take early ownership. You guide your targets through due diligence and stand behind the results. Your analyses feed directly into concrete purchase decisions.

Work directly with decision-makers. You present to the Investment Committee and work closely with colleagues in M&A, Legal and Operations.

Keep learning with every transaction. Our full pipeline gives you repeated opportunities to understand companies, assess risks and see how your findings influence a deal.

Help shape how we acquire companies. Our process is structured and can be further improved. Once you know it, you have the freedom to question individual steps and propose better solutions.

How we get to know each other

We talk about your transaction experience, your approach to due diligence and the responsibility you would like to take on next. You then work on a practical case and get to know the team, including over a shared lunch or dinner. Reference calls are part of the final phase.

Would you like to take charge of the due diligence behind Buena's next acquisitions? Then we look forward to getting to know you.
