Lead Investment Analyst (Alternative Investments)
Join Us in Shaping the Future of Alternative Investments
At Splint Invest, we make alternative investments accessible to everyone: from fine art and classic cars to whisky, handbags, and wine. We’re a fast-growing Swiss fintech startup with a small, driven, and international team working hard to change how people invest.
We’re now looking for a structured, analytical, and detail-oriented Investment Analyst to join our investment team. This role offers significant growth potential, with the opportunity to develop into Head of Investments as the company grows.
This is an exciting opportunity for a senior finance professional, with at least CFA Level 2, to gain hands-on experience in one of the most fascinating corners of the investment world.

- Leading financial and commercial due diligence for existing and prospective partners
- Evaluating new investment opportunities across multiple alternative asset classes
- Analysing exit opportunities and providing recommendations
- Managing the monthly valuation process across the entire asset portfolio

- Building financial models, investment cases and decision papers for management
- Continuously improving our analytical frameworks, valuation methodologies, processes and internal tools
