Continually trusted by Thai government agencies and esteemed investors, SAE brings rigorous, hands-on execution to every mandate.

The Role

We are looking for an Associate to join our advisory team. You will be responsible for the analysis and materials behind our mandates. Senior team members and clients will rely on your work being accurate, complete and well presented. Specifically, you will contribute:

• Analysis: work through financials, market data and due diligence findings, and turn them into clear, well-supported conclusions
• Presentation: produce client-ready decks, reports and memos, and present your work confidently to senior team members and clients

Responsibilities

Financial Modeling & Valuation

• Build and maintain financial models for client mandates, including three-statement projections, DCF, comparable-company / precedent-transaction and project feasibility analyses
• Run sensitivity and scenario analyses, and reconcile model outputs against source financials
• Check your own work for errors and inconsistencies before it reaches senior reviewers or clients

Analysis & Research

• Analyze company financials, management accounts and operating data to identify key drivers, risks and inconsistencies
• Conduct market and industry research, including market sizing, competitive landscape and benchmarking
• Summarize due diligence findings from external advisors into clear, accurate issue lists

Presentation & Client Deliverables

• Prepare client-facing materials: teasers, information memoranda, management presentations, valuation reports and board papers
• Ensure every number, chart and statement in a deliverable is accurate, consistent and traceable to its source
• Present analysis and recommendations to senior team members and, as you develop, to clients

Transaction Execution

• Support deal structuring for SAE's own investments and on behalf of advisory clients, under senior guidance
• Coordinate with legal counsel on SPA, SHA, and related transaction documents
• Manage closing checklists, conditions precedent, and signing logistics
• Liaise with advisory clients, target management, sellers, buyers, and co-investors throughout execution, including negotiation support and progress reporting to clients

Portfolio Support & Advisory Cross-Functional Support

• Support the portfolio management function as needed, including add-on M&A, follow-on financing, exit positioning, and board / governance matters alongside senior team members
• Contribute to relevant investment/fund reports, fund updates, and ad-hoc strategic reviews
• Take on special project mandates as they arise, including new fund origination materials, sector studies, and other firm-level initiatives

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or related field. CFA / MBA / CPA is a plus
• 2–5 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or M&A.
• Strong financial modeling skills and financial literacy are a must
• Highly detail-oriented: you take pride in accurate work and check every number before it leaves your hands
• Excellent written and verbal communication in both Thai and English (Thai business register required).
• Thai citizenship or native-level Thai proficiency
• Polished presentation craft (PowerPoint / Word / Excel)
• Strong work ethic, sense of ownership and a can-do attitude, with willingness to work flexible hours when deals require
• Resilience and composure in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, with several live mandates and tight client deadlines running at once
• Comfort working in a lean team where roles flex with deal flow; resourcefulness, ownership, and intellectual humility valued over title hierarchy
