About MACA Advisors
MACA Advisors is a cross-border M&A advisory firm serving market leaders and institutional investors across Latin America and the Caribbean. We offer senior-led execution, cross-border expertise and rigorous analysis through a lean platform built on client alignment, transparency and trust.
The role
We are looking for an Associate Director to take ownership of the analytical and written product on our mandates. This is the step from producing the work to shaping it: you will be accountable for what leaves the team, draft the documents the senior team builds on, contribute your judgment to transaction decisions, and become a visible presence with clients. You will work directly with the firm’s partners on sell-side, buy-side and capital raise advisory mandates across a range of sectors.
What you will do
-
Own the analytical product on live mandates: instruct, check and teach analysts and senior analysts to a standard where the first pass is the last pass
-
Draft pitch materials, CIMs, teasers, bid letters, memos and process documents
-
Bring a view to transaction decisions, not only to the analysis behind them
-
Participate in client meetings and work alongside counsel, counterparties and co-advisors through diligence, structuring, negotiation and closing
-
Contribute origination ideas from your own reading of the market, at least one a quarter
What you bring
-
3+ years of investment banking or M&A advisory experience, ideally including cross-border transactions
-
Mastery of financial modeling and valuation, with the judgment to review and correct others’ work
-
Fluency in drafting the full range of transaction documents
-
Working knowledge of sell-side, buy-side and capital raise processes, and of the structures that recur in Latin American deals (earnouts, escrows, seller notes, rollover equity)
-
Written communication that synthesizes and decides
-
Fluency in Spanish and English
-
Based in a time zone between UTC-3 and UTC-6
Preferred
-
Transaction experience in Latin America and the Caribbean
-
Transaction exposure across a range of sectors – we are a generalist firm
-
Prior experience in private equity, corporate development or restructuring
What we offer
-
Direct work with the firm’s partners on every mandate
-
A defined path to Vice President, based on independent execution and client-facing readiness
-
More direct ownership of the work than a larger platform offers
-
Compensation tied to individual and firm performance, explained transparently on sample transactions
-
Remote-first work with close regional integration
Our process
-
An initial interview with a partner covering your career in depth
-
A technical and judgment interview with a second partner
-
A live work session on a hypothetical mandate, followed by a presentation of your approach
