Blackstone’s private equity group expects analysts to assist in the direct acquisition of large and midsized companies across a variety of sectors worldwide. The investment process requires both the financial skills of investment banking and the strategic thinking of management consulting. As a result, this analyst program is a unique experience; our analysts develop a well-rounded business mind that is fine-tuned by the challenge of putting to work the firm’s and its professionals’ own money.

The Private Equity Investor Relations & Business Development Team supports relationships with limited partners as well as fundraising efforts. The group has a significant interface with members of the firm’s global private equity group, legal/compliance department as well as other groups within the firm. An Analyst will model alternative fund structure, maintain a database of due diligence information, work on the deal summaries and due diligence processes, and draft updates to limited partners, private placement memorandum, and marketing materials.

Associates will work in a wide range of industries on potential investments, acquisitions, analysis of potential exit opportunities, and the monitoring and management of current portfolio companies. The relatively small size of this group offers Associates the opportunity to work closely with senior members of the firm and to have extensive interaction with management teams and external advisors. We look to attract post-MBAs to this position.
