Georgia Pacific's Corporate Development group is seeking an Investment Associate or Senior Investment Analyst to join the team based in Atlanta, GA. GP's Corporate Development group supports all of GP's business units (i.e. Building Products, Consumer and Packaging & Cellulose) with sourcing, analyzing and executing M&A opportunities in addition to executing divestiture and other strategic projects.

What You Will Do In Your Role

Partner with GP's business units to evaluate and execute acquisition and divestiture opportunities. The Associate or Senior Analyst will generally support an active pipeline of M&A / divestiture projects for the business, working closely with the respective leadership teams and capabilities across GP's business units. The Associate or Senior Analyst may also support one or more strategic projects at a time (each typically lasting 6 to 12 weeks) working directly with GP's Strategy & Business Development team, leaders within GP's business units and other leaders across GP and its parent company, Koch, Inc.

The team is located at GP headquarters in downtown Atlanta, GA. This is an Atlanta-based role and, while GP offers some remote work flexibility, there is a strong preference for in-office presence for this role given the importance of fostering relationships and collaborating with teams across the company.

  • Prepare concise presentations on potential transactions and investments for senior management that assess valuation and clearly articulate investment thesis, range-of-outcomes, potential synergies and key risks

  • Market / Competitor Analysis: Perform industry research and competitive analysis related to potential acquisition opportunities and markets of interest. This could include market sizing, cost benchmarking, and/or market point of view development

  • Transaction Support: Support the coordination of due diligence efforts with internal and external stakeholders

  • Participate in discussions with business leaders

  • Assume responsibility for 100% compliance with the laws, regulations, company policy, and industry standards applicable to this role

  • Operate on a highly collaborative team. This will require:

  • Strong interpersonal skills

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

  • Self-starter, highly focused, able to collaborate and also work independently

  • Entrepreneurial spirit, contribution motivated, creative and able to think outside the box

  • Integrity and an openness to feedback

  • Advance the Principle-Based Management (PBM) culture by applying and reinforcing the company's Guiding Principles

Who You Are (Basic Requirements)

  • Career experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate M&A, consulting or roles that provide transferrable skills required for this position
  • Financial analysis, economic analysis, investment modeling and decision support experience

What Will Put You Ahead

  • You are driven to engage and gain knowledge with a strong sense of urgency and intellectual curiosity
  • You have a Bachelor's degree or higher in Finance, Business, Economics, Data Science, Accounting, Engineering
  • You have demonstrated knowledge of M&A processes, valuation, and deal structures

  • You have experience delivering high quality work under tight deadlines
  • You communicate well across a matrix delivery model; you keep stakeholders informed and engaged; you build trusted and respected relationships
