M&A Intern
Pubblicato il 05-09-2026 - Jobtome in Torino
Job title: M&A; Intern – Analyst Track
Location: Verona, Italy Workplace: On-site Job type: Internship, full-time, 6 months, paid
Newport & Co is hiring an M&A; Intern in Verona: six months, full-time, paid, working directly with our Chief Investment Officer on acquiring corporate carve-outs across Europe.
Why this internship is different
- M&A; end-to-end: You will be involved in the entire M&A; process from origination to the first conversation with a corporate seller through valuation, due diligence, negotiation and deal execution
- Responsibility is earned, quickly: There is no fixed hierarchy deciding what an intern can or cannot do. Consistently excellent work leads to more responsibility.
- A different investment model: Newport & Co is a perpetual compounder specialized in corporate carve-outs, Europe's safe harbor for non-core businesses. We acquire non-core businesses with €10–100 million of revenues from mid-sized and large corporates and hold them indefinitely: no fund cycles, no exit clocks, no forced sales. Our team has 80+ years of dealmaking and operating experience and 17 executed carve-outs across all industries behind it.
What you will do
- Source and screen carve-out and divestiture opportunities across Europe
- Build and stress-test financial models and valuations, including working capital, cash conversion and stand-alone cost structures
- Support financial, commercial, operational and separation due diligence, including detailed financial analysis and reclassification
- Prepare investment analyses and Investment Committee materials
- Support execution from sourcing to signing, including carve-out perimeter, TSAs, transaction documents, and Day-1 readiness
- Run sector research and maintain our proprietary deal pipeline and CRM
What we are looking for
- A Master's degree in progress or recently completed in Finance, Economics, Business, Management, Engineering or a related quantitative field, with strong academic results
- Previous internship experience in Investment Banking, M&A;, Private Equity, Transaction Services, Corporate Finance, Audit or Management Consulting, ideally involving financial analysis or valuation
- Strong understanding of accounting, valuation and M&A; fundamentals
- Fluent Italian, English and a third language and international academic or professional experience
- Availability to work full-time and on-site in Verona for six months
- A genuine interest in building a long-term career with Newport & Co
- Exposure to industrial businesses, carve-outs or turnaround situations, and effective use of AI tools are advantages.
What we value (aka Newport's Way)
- Ownership: Think like an owner, not an employee. An owner does not wait to be asked: anticipate what the team needs and act on it.
Whoever has a problem owns the solution, not just the escalation.
- Humility: Let results speak. Listen more than you talk and be ready to be wrong when someone brings evidence.
- Speed: A task done tomorrow is not the same as a task done today.
- Intellectual rigor: Do it right the first time;
when you do not, say soimmediately and fix it. Look for the right information, not all the information, and check whether what you are told holds up.
- Simplicity: Make complicated things understandable.
- Long-term thinking.
And one important point: some of the work will be unglamorous. Expect large Excel files, data cleaning, CRM work, repetitive analysis and attention to detail. Everyone starts with the fundamentals. Master them and responsibility increases quickly.
