A permanent role within one of our portfolio companies — a leading Danish automotive repair and service chain — helping execute the add-on acquisitions that power its buy-and-build growth strategy.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This role sits within one of our operating companies, reports to the CEO and COO, and works closely with the OGV deal team. The Associate will source, evaluate, execute, and support the integration of add-on acquisitions that expand the company's network, capabilities, and footprint across Denmark.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Build and manage the acquisition pipeline through market mapping, target prioritisation, and disciplined tracking. Lead outreach to founders and owners of prospective targets, managing those relationships with discretion, persistence, and respect for the businesses they have built. Own valuation, financial modelling, and commercial diligence for each opportunity, including EBITDA normalisation, working capital, net debt, capital expenditure, purchase-price bridges, returns, and synergy cases. Coordinate financial, commercial, operational, tax, and legal diligence; prepare decision materials; and support senior leadership through structuring, negotiation, signing, and closing. Develop integration plans with Finance, Operations, HR, IT, and other functional leaders; establish clear accountability and milestones; and track synergies and performance against the original acquisition case. Prepare concise recommendations and materials for executive leadership, the board, and OGV. Help build a repeatable acquisition and integration playbook as the platform scales. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR At least four years of full-time experience in corporate development, M&A, investment banking, private equity, or transaction advisory. Demonstrated transaction experience across financial analysis, diligence, and execution; exposure to add-on acquisitions, founder-owned businesses, or post-merger integration is strongly preferred. Strong financial and analytical skills, including financial-statement analysis, valuation, and transaction modelling, paired with commercial and operational instinct. A proactive, relationship-driven approach and the autonomy to drive day-to-day execution while knowing when to escalate material issues. Strong project-management skills and the ability to coordinate internal teams and external advisers across multiple live opportunities. Credibility and empathy when engaging owners of local, founder-led businesses; experience in automotive services, multi-site consumer services, or another fragmented buy-and-build sector is advantageous but not required. Advanced Excel skills and practical fluency with data and AI tools. The ability to automate market mapping, pipeline tracking, analysis, or reporting using coding, scripting, APIs, or workflow tools is strongly preferred. Full professional proficiency in both Danish and English is required. Candidates must already hold valid work authorisation for Denmark. The role may be based in the Copenhagen, Brøndby, or Viborg office and requires frequent local travel across Denmark. A valid driving licence is required.
