Sourcing Summer Analyst
THE ROLE
The primary focus of our Sourcing Internship program is to gain experience and exposure to the world of sourcing through reaching out and assessing potential investment opportunities for Alpine’s fund.

The program will begin on June 9, 2025, and conclude on August 15, 2025.
Sourcing is a critical function within Alpine and spearheads all other activities within the firm. Alpine’s sourcing team creates more optionality and opportunities for investments across the portfolio. Alpine has a world-class proprietary sourcing function, known as Elevation, which has allowed us to increase the volume of closed deals since 2021.

We aim for our interns to transition into full-time sourcing roles at Alpine post-graduation.
