Elevation | 2026 Sourcing Summer Analyst

THE ROLE

The primary focus of the Sourcing Internship program is to gain experience and exposure to the world of deal sourcing by reaching out and assessing potential investment opportunities for Alpine Investors (“Alpine”) and its portfolio companies. Direct sourcing entails compiling lists of prospective acquisition targets, reaching out to business owners, evaluating investment opportunities generated through outreach, and building relationships with internal and external stakeholders. The program will begin on June 8, 2026, and conclude on August 14, 2026.

The direct sourcing team within Alpine Operations Group (“Elevation”) provides a critical service to Alpine and its portfolio companies. The Elevation team creates more optionality and opportunities for investments across the Alpine portfolio and has allowed Alpine to increase the volume of closed deals since 2021. We strongly believe in giving interns ownership and responsibility early on to maximize their learning and be ready to contribute to the team meaningfully. We aim for our interns to transition into full-time direct sourcing roles starting Fall 2027.
