Chestnut Partners, Inc. provides a select group of public and private biotechnology and life sciences clients with financial advice relating to value creation planning, corporate partnership transactions, mergers and acquisitions, tender defense, and private capital formation. The firm offers an exceptional level of senior involvement, sophistication, independence, speed of execution, and confidentiality for each assignment. We are a 20‑person firm, formed in 1995, unified by a mission of helping our clients successfully navigate the complex financial strategy required to turn scientific innovations into patient impact.

While Chestnut Partners is an investment bank, its deep client relationships typically result in advisory assignments that are a mix between traditional banking and consulting activities and expose Summer Analysts to all aspects of client business models and strategies.

Chestnut Partners offers Summer Analysts an exceptional ten‑week opportunity to participate in a nimble entrepreneurial environment in downtown Boston. Summer Analysts will have the opportunity to:

• Participate in client meetings and interact directly with senior client executives (e.g., CEO, CFO)

• Learn a variety of analytical frameworks
• Complete an independent special project with applicability across multiple client assignments
• Be mentored by Partners of the firm who have 45‑ and 16‑years of experience, respectively, in their field
• Gain exposure to the Boston/Cambridge biotechnology cluster, which is the most active in the nation
• Be considered for a return offer as a full‑time Analyst
• Earn compensation

Candidates for this position require strong analytical and interpersonal skills with backgrounds reflecting a high level of achievement. Successful Summer Analysts:

• Are goal‑oriented and approach tasks with an ownership mentality
• Possess work habits stressing initiative, self‑reliance, organization, thoroughness, attention to detail, and perseverance
• Exhibit maturity, self‑confidence, strong communication skills, and an ability to work both independently and in a team
• Have strong research and presentation skills

Chestnut prefers candidates who have:

• Math, science, economics, finance and/or accounting backgrounds through class work or prior experience (a full major in one of these subjects is not required and Chestnut has hired candidates in the past who did not major/minor in one of these concentrations)
• Experience using Microsoft Excel and Power Point

Chestnut Partners is an equal opportunity employer.

Interested candidates from the Class of 2028 should submit a resume and unofficial transcript. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
