(TSX: CSU), acquires, strengthens, and grows vertical market software companies. Unlike traditional private equity or strategic buyers, we follow a buy-and-hold-forever strategy and operate in a highly decentralized environment. Our mission is to help our companies become clear leaders in their respective industries, supported by long-term capital and operational expertise. Today, Volaris is home to over 200 companies in more than 50 countries.\nThe Role\nAs an M&A Associate, you'll support the full acquisition lifecycle - from sourcing and lead generation through NDAs, valuation, indicative offers and letters of intent, due diligence, and transaction close. The role is roughly 60% deal execution and 40% business development, though the mix shifts depending on where the team is in the M&A cycle.\nYou will be tasked with supporting M&A transactions and will be comfortable driving a cross-functional due diligence process - coordinating internal stakeholders and external advisors toward a close. You'll also gather key information on risks and opportunities and translate it into fact-based, well-reasoned insights on the valuation and structural impact of each acquisition. This is a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment: strong candidates enjoy both the analytical rigor of modeling and valuation and the relationship-building side of sourcing deals.\nThe team works with colleagues across time zones globally, so some meetings will fall outside standard business hours.
