Associate, Riverside European Partners (“REF”) Madrid

The Riverside Company is a global private equity firm advising on investments in growing medium-sized businesses. Since its founding in 1988, Riverside has made more than 1,000 transactions and the firm’s current, international portfolio includes more than 140 companies.

Riverside’s focus is the middle market, usually with an enterprise value of up to €250 million. The firm has 16 offices across North America, Europe and Australia staffed with more than 300 local professionals speaking over two dozen languages. The firm’s active, hands-on investment approach aims to accelerate growth within its portfolio of companies. Riverside is proud to partner with strong management teams to help make companies fundamentally better and measurably larger.

Riverside’s activities in Europe are concentrated around six offices: Brussels, London, Munich, Luxembourg, Stockholm and Madrid, with about 30 investment, origination and operating professionals. Riverside is investing from its seventh European vintage and has more than €13 billion of assets under management. Deal flow is strong across its target regions in Europe and its four industry specializations: Software & Technology, Consumer Products, Healthcare, and Sustainable Manufacturing & Distribution. Riverside is to hire an Associate, to work primarily with team members based in the Madrid office but should expect to gain meaningful exposure to deal work with colleagues in other Riverside offices throughout Europe.
