Careers

Work where SMEs
change hands

We buy companies that owners spent thirty years building. That takes people who love numbers as much as factories, and who can talk to an SME owner as easily as to a banker.

What you won't find elsewhere

You won't spend your days inside a financial model.

Here, a deal starts with a coffee with an owner in their workshop, factory or warehouse, continues with an offer and ends with an ownership plan for their teams. In between, there is negotiation and a lot of time in the field.

The setting

What we offer

Responsibility

Your own deals

You follow your transactions end to end, from first contact to closing, without being confined to a single step.

Ownership

A share of the equity

We practice what we preach: our teams become shareholders of PurpleShares.

In the field

SMEs, not slides

Workshops, warehouses, laboratories: you will spend time at the companies we take over.

Tools

A real in-house stack

Sourcing, scoring, deal making: our tools are built in-house and evolve with your feedback.

Flexibility

Three offices, remote work

Paris, Lille and Brussels, with plenty of travel — including to our SMEs — and remote work.

Growth

A role that moves fast

The team is growing: responsibilities evolve with the portfolio, not with an HR grid.

Hiring

How it works

Four steps, three weeks on average. Every application gets an answer.

An exercise drawn from a real deal, to prepare at home in two hours at most.

You talk with several members of the team you will be working with day to day.

04

Offer

We get back to you within a few days, with a clear answer either way.
