BAIN CAPITAL PRIVATE EQUITY OVERVIEW
To date, Bain Capital Private Equity has raised twelve global private equity funds, five European funds and four Asian funds; and made over 1,100 investments. Our private equity activity primarily includes leveraged buyouts and growth capital invested across a wide variety of sectors. We believe the most critical ingredients in a company’s success are the management team and the alignment of management incentives with those of the investors. Our portfolio companies have significant management-equity ownership as a key part of the investment strategy. Bain Capital professionals are significant investors in each transaction, which achieves an alignment of goals with portfolio company management teams.
The group has developed significant expertise in several business areas including technology, healthcare, retail, telecommunications, industrial and consumer products. Transaction types include leveraged acquisitions, expansion capital, growth buyouts, turnarounds, consolidation plays, private buyouts, public company recapitalizations, convertible preferred investments, and financial restructurings.
VICE PRESIDENT ROLE
As a Private Equity Vice President, you will be involved in all elements of the business. Significant activities include evaluating investment opportunities, raising debt financing, managing outside diligence specialists, and working with portfolio companies to drive value creation. In the investment evaluation phase, you will work as part of a small team to determine whether a company is an attractive acquisition candidate. This analysis includes assessing industry attractiveness, competitive dynamics, customer trends, company strengths and weaknesses, and management capabilities. You should expect to spend a minimum of 20% of your time working directly with portfolio companies to implement value-creation initiatives. You will work closely with management teams to identify areas where a company’s growth and profits could be enhanced.
Qualified applicants must be able to execute fundamental strategic analysis, apply sound business judgment, interact as peers with senior executives, effectively oversee the workstreams of more junior team members, cultivate external sourcing opportunities, and manage complex, fast-moving processes. We are looking for self-starters who feel a strong sense of ownership over their work and have excellent team and interpersonal skills.
APPLICATION PROCESS
In addition to submitting your Workday application, we ask that you also complete this brief online assessment with our partners at the Predictive Index so that we can learn a bit more about your ability to process complex information. Note that we will not be able to consider you for interviews until we receive both your Workday application and Predictive Index assessments.
The assessment is broken-up into two sections – an untimed Behavioral Assessment, which measures work and communication needs, and a timed 12-minute Cognitive Assessment measuring a person’s capacity to learn, adapt and grasp new concepts. Please set aside a total of 15-20 undisturbed minutes to complete this. Once you complete the Behavioral Assessment, Predictive Index will email you a separate link to complete the timed Cognitive Assessment (this is a different link than the one above). Please check your spam folder if you do not immediately receive the second link or reach out to Kelsey with any questions. Feel free to check out this practice test which has been designed to familiarize you with the PI Cognitive Assessment process. Your answers to these sample questions do not affect your official PI Cognitive Assessment results.
