    Private Equity Analyst, Lyra Technology Group

    Lyra Technology Group is looking for a talented analyst to join our team! This is an opportunity to learn about private equity, the technology business, and build operational and management skills.

    A bit about Lyra…

    Lyra Technology Group is a family of industry leading technology service businesses. Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams. Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.

    We made our first acquisition at the beginning of 2018. Now, we hold a controlling stake in 20+ companies and are continuing to grow. Our companies employ over 700 team members and sit across the United States and Canada. Each company is led by its own management team and we are incredibly proud of the work they do.

    What sets us apart are three things: our buy and hold strategy, our company's local autonomous management, and our scale.

    1. Unlike typical Private Equity investments with a three-to-five-year liquidation strategy, we buy businesses and invest in them for the long-term. We believe in the value of our acquisitions and want to grow.
    2. We bought our companies because they already had success in the marketplace. Instead of asking them to conform to a unified platform, we allow companies to keep their team, culture and branding in place.
    3. We enjoy the best of both worlds, small company culture and big business resources. We leverage our collective scale for strategic partnerships, shared resources, and buying power.

    And it's working…2022 was our best year yet. We exceeded our revenue goals and finished the year with 100% employee engagement.

    Your work as an Analyst involves several components:

    1. Learn the metrics and KPIs of our businesses, allowing contributions to platform-wide projects and initiatives.
    2. Spend time immersed in our Operating Companies, getting hands on mentorship from senior leaders.
    3. Develop cross-functional skills in areas like operations and people management.
    4. Gain M&A experience by contributing to the diligence and onboarding processes for new acquisitions
    5. Work closely with our Board to better understand our strategy and how to executive.

    We are looking for smart, motivated future leaders who are looking to “roll up their sleeves” and hungry to make an impact by stewarding a business over the long-term. We have had tremendous success in empowering talented analysts early in their career and giving them more responsibility than others would be comfortable with. We offer exceptional people the opportunity to meaningfully accelerate their career trajectory.
