Job description

Sydney | Independent Corporate Advisory | Public & Private M&A

We are working with an established independent corporate advisory firm looking to appoint an Associate to its Sydney team.

The firm has a strong track record advising listed companies, privately owned businesses and financial sponsors across public and private M&A, divestments, capital raisings and strategic transactions. With an experienced senior team and strong relationships across the Australian market, the business offers exposure to a broad range of transactions and clients.

This is an opportunity to join a highly regarded team where you will work directly with senior dealmakers and clients, taking meaningful responsibility across the full transaction lifecycle.

The Opportunity

• Work across a diverse range of public and private M&A transactions, including buy-side and sell-side mandates.
• Take an active role in transaction execution, including financial modelling, valuation, due diligence, preparation of transaction materials and deal management.
• Work closely with senior advisers, corporate clients, management teams and financial sponsors.
• Gain exposure to complex transactions across a range of industries, with opportunities to contribute from origination through to completion.
• Develop your commercial judgement and advisory capabilities within a collaborative, experienced team.

The Successful Candidate

• Approximately 4–6 years' relevant experience in M&A, investment banking or corporate advisory.
• Strong financial modelling, valuation and analytical capabilities.
• Demonstrated experience executing M&A transactions, ideally with involvement across multiple stages of the deal lifecycle.
• Excellent communication skills, commercial awareness and the confidence to engage with senior stakeholders.
• A proactive approach, strong attention to detail and the ambition to take on greater responsibility.

The firm offers an attractive alternative to larger investment banking platforms, combining the quality and complexity of its transactions with a more hands-on, collaborative environment and direct exposure to senior decision-makers.
