Investment Analyst Associate

Investment Analyst and Associate — SPAC Deal Team 

Meteora Capital  |  New York, NY  |  Full-Time

About Meteora Capital

Meteora Capital is an investment firm focused on event-driven and special situations strategies, with a particular emphasis on SPAC Sponsorship, capital markets transactions, and structured equity opportunities. Meteora combines fundamental analysis with deep structuring expertise to identify asymmetric opportunities. 

Investment Exposure — Without the Traditional IB Lifestyle/Hours

Meteora Capital is hiring an Investment Analyst and Associate to join its SPAC deal team. This is an investment role — the individual will evaluate transaction opportunities, form views on valuation, lead diligence/data room review, prosecute a funnel of M&A candidates and support the structuring and execution of investments across Meteora's SPAC platform. Benefit of working for an institutionally backed platform vs a single SPAC.

The role spans the full transaction lifecycle: from initial investment evaluation through deal structuring, diligence, capital markets execution, and closing. It sits at the intersection of investing, structuring, and execution — offering the kind of broad transaction exposure that typically takes years to access in more traditional institutional settings.

The schedule is market-driven (7 days/week), but workloads are intentionally managed and typically do not exceed ~60 hours/week.

This role is well-suited for candidates on an investment or I-banking career path who want to stay close to transactions and complex deal situations, without the constraints of a traditional institutional environment.

What You'll Do

Investment Evaluation & Transaction Analysis

*      Review and assess SPAC and M&A transaction opportunities across multiple sectors, forming views on risk, structure, and return profile.

*      Build transaction and scenario models covering redemptions, PIPE sizing, dilution, sponsor economics, and capital structure sensitivities.

*      Analyze SEC filings and deal documentation (S-4s, proxy statements, trust agreements) to assess structure, risk, and investor outcomes.

*      Prepare deal summaries and internal investment memos that synthesize diligence findings into a clear investment view.

SPAC Execution & De-SPAC Process

*      Support execution of SPAC IPOs and business combinations across the full transaction lifecycle — from initial structuring through signing, proxy filing, shareholder vote, and closing.

*      Manage data rooms, diligence trackers, deal timelines, and closing checklists across concurrent live transactions.

*      Engage directly with target company CEOs, CFOs, and management teams throughout diligence, structuring, and transaction execution — with meaningful exposure to how operating businesses evaluate and navigate the public markets process.

Diligence & Counterparty Coordination

*      Support financial and commercial diligence on potential targets.

*      Coordinate directly with external counsel, investment bankers, auditors, and target company management to drive workstreams and meet regulatory deadlines.

*      Work alongside bankers, legal advisors, sponsors, and management teams across multiple active deals.

Market Intelligence & Deal Support

*      Track SPAC market activity, comparable transaction terms, redemption trends, PIPE availability, and trust mechanics.

*      Support investor-facing materials including management presentations and PIPE marketing decks where relevant.

Structured Investments — Equity & Credit

*      Support the structuring and execution of Meteora's investments in connection with De-SPAC transactions, including equity, structured equity, and credit instruments such as convertible notes, forward purchase agreements, and other bespoke financing solutions tailored to transaction-specific risk and return objectives.

What We're Looking For in the Analyst and Associate Candidates

*      1–5 years of relevant experience in investment banking, M&A, private equity, hedge funds, special situations, transaction advisory, or a similar investment or transaction-focused role.

*      Strong financial modeling, valuation, and analytical skills developed through prior deal or transaction experience.

*      Ability to form and articulate an investment view — not just process transactions, but think critically about risk, structure, and outcomes.

*      Familiarity with SEC filings, SPAC mechanics (trust, warrants, PIPEs, De-SPAC lifecycle), and public-market transactions preferred.

*      Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams and operate in fast-paced, deal-driven environments.

*      Strong organizational and project management skills — capable of driving multi-party processes with competing deadlines.

*      Detail-oriented, intellectually curious, and comfortable operating with limited hierarchy and high ownership expectations.

*      Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or related field.

Why This Role

*      A genuine investment role — with real accountability for evaluating deals and forming views, not just executing process.

*      Investment banking–level deal exposure without the traditional IB lifestyle or institutional bureaucracy.

*      Broad exposure to structuring, diligence, capital markets, and investor dynamics — equity, structured equity, and credit — all in a single role.

*      Direct engagement with CEOs, CFOs, and operating company leadership as an active participant in live transactions.

*      Direct line to senior principals, legal counsel, and institutional investors from day one.

*      Strong platform for long-term careers in investing, private capital, or capital markets.

Compensation & Structure

Compensation will be competitive and commensurate with experience, and includes a discretionary annual bonus. The role also provides access to sponsor economics (including potential allocations of founder shares in SPAC vehicles on a deal-by-deal basis) representing performance-driven, long-term upside tied directly to successful transaction execution.
