Role overview

Role Title: Private Equity Associate


Role Type: Contractor


Location: Remote


micro1 is engaging Private Equity Associates to contribute expertise to a customer's project focused on enhancing AI-driven private equity workflows. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.


Scope of Work

  1. Design and author project tasks that authentically represent private equity workflows, including CIM screening, LBO modelling, and portfolio company monitoring.
  2. Develop and rigorously stress-test LBO models using realistic capital structures and operating assumptions, with a focus on returns analysis (IRR, MOIC).
  3. Craft investment committee memos evaluating hypothetical or real deals, outlining thesis, key risks, value-creation strategies, and exit scenarios.
  4. Conduct detailed due diligence assessments, highlighting risk factors and proposing mitigation strategies, mirroring industry best practices.
  5. Evaluate AI-generated outputs for financial accuracy, strategic judgement, and alignment with established private equity methodologies.
  6. Collaborate with project leads to refine evaluation rubrics, adjust task difficulty, and ensure comprehensive coverage across sectors and deal types.
  7. Deliver thorough documentation and feedback, supporting continuous improvement of AI training datasets.


Preferred Qualifications

  1. 2–6+ years of experience in private equity, investment banking plus private equity, or direct private equity roles at mid-market, growth, or large-cap funds.
  2. Advanced degree such as MBA or Master's in Finance; completion of top-tier programs (e.g., Wharton) is especially valued.
  3. Demonstrated expertise building LBO models and investment committee memos reviewed by principals or partners.
  4. Exceptional written communication, with a track record of producing clear, professional-grade documentation and memos.
  5. Strong analytical skills and the ability to exercise sound judgement under ambiguous conditions.
  6. Direct participation in due diligence and risk assessments in live private equity transactions.
  7. Ability to commit to structured project work, delivering consistent, high-quality contributions within defined parameters.

How big is the remote / hybrid opportunity?

Remote work is already huge — but the bigger story may be the hundreds of millions of jobs that could still move beyond geography.

Global remote and hybrid work opportunity infographic

Remote work already connects millions of people with companies they would never have been able to work for a decade ago. But compared with the size of the global labour market, it may still be early.

The interesting number is not only how many people work remotely today — it is how many roles could plausibly become remote or hybrid next.

The chart above starts with roughly 3.3 billion people employed worldwide. Around 300 million jobs are already remote or hybrid, while an additional pool of roughly 250 million roles could potentially move in that direction as technology, workflows and company culture continue to change.

Skills are becoming more portable

This matters because more work can increasingly be matched to expertise rather than location. AI training and evaluation are a good example: companies need lawyers, engineers, designers, editors, researchers, finance professionals and many other specialists to help improve AI systems.

For workers, that creates access to projects outside their local market. For companies, it expands the talent pool from one city or country to the world.
