The Brydon Group is a Washington D.C.-based private equity firm that partners with outstanding mid-career executives to acquire business-to-business (B2B), business-to-government (B2G), and healthcare software and services businesses. Brydon is currently investing out of its Fund III which closed in July 2025.

About The Role

As an Analyst at The Brydon Group you will play a key role in our firm's deal origination strategy, working closely with Managing Partners, the Director of Business Development, and CEOs-in-Residence (CIRs) to identify, qualify, and advance investment opportunities.

This role is focused on building and managing relationships with the bankers, brokers, M&A advisors, and other intermediaries who represent companies that may be a fit for Brydon's investment strategy. You will help ensure Brydon is seeing the right opportunities, staying top-of-mind with the right deal sources, and developing a sharper understanding of which intermediaries consistently surface high-quality companies. You will be expected to uphold the highest values while consistently delivering impact in a fast-paced environment.

What Makes Someone Great In This Role

We are looking for candidates who show:

High ownership and consistent follow-through
Genuine interest in investing, business models, markets, and company-building
Curiosity about how private equity deals are sourced, marketed, evaluated, and won
Comfort building relationships with bankers, brokers, M&A advisors, and other intermediaries
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Commercial judgment and ability to separate signal from noise
Persistence without being robotic or overly scripted
Ability to synthesize market conversations into useful investment context
Strong organization and comfort managing multiple relationship workstreams at once
Interest in using CRM, data, AI, and workflow tools to make coverage more effective
Coachability, humility, and a desire to improve quickly

What You'll Do

Intermediary Coverage and Relationship Management

Responsibilities include:

Build and maintain lists of relevant intermediaries across Brydon's target sectors and geographies
Support regular coverage of bankers, brokers, and M&A advisors
Help prepare for intermediary meetings by researching firms, contacts, recent transactions, and sector focus
Track relationship activity, meeting notes, follow-ups, and coverage status in HubSpot
Help identify which intermediary relationships are generating relevant opportunities and which may require deeper engagement
Support Brydon's positioning as a credible, responsive, and thoughtful buyer in the intermediary community

Market and Deal Flow Intelligence

Review and synthesize incoming opportunities from intermediaries
Help identify patterns across sectors, deal types, valuation expectations, process quality, and seller motivations
Track which intermediaries are active in Brydon's priority areas
Prepare concise summaries of relevant market observations for internal discussion
Help the team understand where attractive deal flow is emerging and where coverage may need to improve
Develop judgment around which opportunities warrant investment team attention

Deal and Process Support

Review teasers, CIMs, and other materials from intermediaries
Prepare short company summaries for internal review
Track deal flow, process status, deadlines, and next steps
Coordinate with investment professionals on opportunities that merit further evaluation
Help determine whether an opportunity fits Brydon's sector focus, size parameters, and investment criteria
Maintain accurate records of opportunities and intermediary attribution in HubSpot

Help the team understand which relationships are becoming more productive over time
Contribute to a more disciplined, data-informed approach to intermediary coverage

What You'll Learn

This role offers unusually broad exposure for an early-career professional who wants to understand how private equity opportunities reach investors.

You will learn how intermediated deal flow works, how bankers and brokers position companies, how buyers evaluate opportunities, how investment teams decide which processes to pursue, and how relationship coverage can influence access to high-quality deals.

You will also learn the less obvious parts of business development in private equity: how persistence compounds, how market conversations create proprietary context even when the deal itself is intermediated, how process quality varies by advisor, and how pattern recognition develops over hundreds of interactions.

Requirements

We are open to a range of backgrounds. We care most about curiosity, judgment, ownership, communication ability, and willingness to do the work.

Preferred qualifications include:

Bachelor's degree with strong academic achievement
1-2 years of professional experience, preferably in business development, private equity, investment banking, consulting, executive search, sales, market research, corporate development, or another commercially oriented role
Strong written communication skills, especially in concise outreach, meeting notes, and internal summaries
Comfort speaking with bankers, brokers, M&A advisors, and other external market participants
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Ability to manage multiple relationships, follow-ups, and process timelines at once
Interest in business models, investing, software, healthcare services, business-to-government, or technology-enabled services
Familiarity with CRM systems, databases, or workflow tools is a plus
Exposure to financial analysis or valuation is helpful but not required

Benefits

This role is in-person and on-site at our Washington, D.C. office
This is a full time salaried position, compensation will be commensurate with experience and is expected to range between $60,000 and $80,000; Brydon employees are eligible for paid holidays, health insurance and 401(k) retirement benefits
