Job Description – M&A Analyst / Associate

Harris, an operating group of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX: CSU), is seeking an M&A Analyst / Associate to join its team and support the execution of its capital deployment strategy.

The successful candidate will play a meaningful role in the evaluation and execution of acquisition opportunities, working closely with senior M&A professionals and business unit leaders. This position is suitable for candidates at the Analyst or Associate level, depending on experience.

The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, detail-oriented, and possesses strong analytical and interpersonal skills. Prior experience in accounting, corporate finance, transaction services, or M&A is required.

After developing a strong understanding of Harris' business model and acquisition processes, the Analyst / Associate will support and contribute to acquisition transactions from initial evaluation through closing and post-close follow-up.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Financial modeling, valuation analysis, and return assessment
  • Supporting and coordinating due diligence activities, including working with internal functional teams and business unit stakeholders
  • Preparing investment memoranda, presentations, and materials for internal investment committees
  • Assisting with transaction negotiations, deal structuring, and execution
  • Supporting post-close monitoring and facilitating the hand-off to integration teams

  • Assist in maintaining relationships with acquisition targets and intermediaries through calls, emails, and occasional in-person meetings
  • Help ensure timely escalation of relevant opportunities to senior M&A team members

Additional Responsibilities

  • Internal reporting on pre-close acquisition activity, pipeline status, and post-close acquisition performance
  • Some travel required (approximately 10–25%)

Qualifications & Experience

  • 0–2+ years of relevant experience for Analyst-level candidates; 2–5+ years for Associate-level candidates, in M&A, corporate development, transaction services, accounting, corporate finance, or investment analysis
  • Experience with financial modeling and deal-related analysis; exposure to investment memoranda is an asset
  • Strong organizational skills with excellent written and verbal communication abilities
  • Solid working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint
  • Highly motivated, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Fluency in English
  • Completion of an undergraduate degree; MBA or professional designation is an asset but not required

What We Offer

  • Vacation and personal time off
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage from day one
  • Employee equity participation and RRSP/401(k) matching programs
  • Lifestyle and wellness benefits
  • Remote work flexibility and additional perks
