Internship - IT M&A | Consulting (from September or October 2026)

About Interpath

Interpath is an international and fast-growing advisory business with deep expertise across Deals, Advisory, and Restructuring. We support investors and management teams in complex situations where critical decisions are required and value creation is central. Our culture is agile, independent, and conflict-free, enabling us to deliver pragmatic, results-driven advice.

Technology is a critical driver of value in M&A transactions. Interpath combines deep sector insight with hands-on execution capabilities to support Private Equity investors and corporates throughout the deal lifecycle – from IT due diligence and carve-outs to post-merger integration and value creation. We help clients assess IT landscapes, identify transaction risks, and unlock value through technology.

Interpath entered the German market in January 2025 and continues to build a strong presence across the DACH region. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to our growing IT M&A and Due Diligence capability, working on high-impact transactions alongside experienced Managing Directors and deal teams.
