A bit about Lyra

Lyra Technology Group is a family of industry leading technology service businesses. Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams.

Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.

We made our first acquisition at the beginning of 2018. Now, we hold a controlling stake in 60+ companies and are continuing to grow.

Our companies employ over 3,000 team members worldwide. Each company is led by its own management team and we are incredibly proud of the work they do.

What sets us apart are three things : our buy and hold strategy, our company's local autonomous management, and our scale.

1.Unlike typical Private Equity investments with a three-to-five-year liquidation strategy, we partner with businesses and invest in them for the long-term.

We believe in the value of our acquisitions and want to grow.

2.We partnered with our companies because they already had success in the marketplace. Instead of asking them to conform to a unified platform, we allow companies to keep their team, culture and branding in place.

3.We enjoy the best of both worlds, small company culture and big business resources. We leverage our collective scale for strategic partnerships, peer insights, and shared best-in-class resources.

Your work as an Analyst involves several components :

1.Sit in our Chicago headquarters office as part of the Finance Operations team and support our Operating Companies to support value creation efforts, getting hands on mentorship from senior leaders and working close collaboration with a Lyra Regional CEO

2.Support new M&A activity with initial underwriting, valuation, due diligence, and onboarding

3.Learn the metrics and KPIs of our businesses, allowing contributions to platform-wide projects and initiatives.

4.Develop cross-functional skills in areas like operations and people management.

5.Work closely with our Leadership Team to better understand our strategy and how to execute.

We are looking for smart, motivated future leaders who are looking to roll up their sleeves and hungry to make an impact by stewarding a business over the long-term.

We have had tremendous success in empowering talented analysts early in their career and giving them more responsibility than others would be comfortable with.

We offer exceptional people the opportunity to meaningfully accelerate their career trajectory.
