What we need:

- 2–4 years in Venture Capital, Private Equity, Investment Banking, Transaction Services, Strategy Consulting or a finance role in a startup

- Advanced Excel skills: financial modelling, large datasets and building models from scratch

- Hands-on use of AI tools in your daily work to automate analysis, extract data from documents and speed up research

- Fluent Spanish and English, since English is used daily with international fund managers

- Analytical mindset, rigour and attention to detail

- Autonomy, organisation and a proactive, builder attitude

- Real passion for technology, startups and Venture Capital

What we offer:

- Competitive salary + performance bonus
