We are looking for an ambitious and highly motivated Off-Cycle Investment Analyst to join our Corporate Development team in Milan for a 6-month full-time internship (February 2026 – July 2026).

You will join a dynamic team of eight investment professionals and gain hands-on exposure to live technology acquisitions across Europe and North America. The internship is available through a university programme or for recent graduates (within 12 months). Exceptional performance may lead to a full-time offer. The role follows a hybrid working model.

• Work directly with senior team members on live transactions

What We’re Looking For

• First-class academic grades (or equivalent)
• At least one prior internship in finance, ideally investment banking, strategy consulting, or buy-side investing
• MBA graduates are also encouraged to apply
• Strong analytical, financial modelling, and problem-solving skills
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to perform under tight deadlines
• Fluency in English; Italian or another European language is a plus

What You’ll Get

• Direct exposure to global M&A transactions from day one
• Practical experience in financial and commercial due diligence
• A front-row seat inside one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI-powered software groups, backed by tier-one investors
