Position Highlights

Analysts and Associates in Investment Banking enjoy a stimulating and challenging work environment in which they execute a broad range of transactions. A high degree of responsibility is afforded to those demonstrating initiative and the desire to take on such responsibility.

In the early stages of your career, you will focus on client presentations, financial modeling and research. As your career progresses, you'll take on increased responsibilities on live transactions and participating in business development under the guidance of senior group members. Scotiabank brings Analysts and Associates in contact with senior team members and clients at the earliest possible stage, allowing them to gain experience in managing and cultivating relationships.

A significant amount of effort, diligence and initiative is required to properly execute assignments. The complexity of clients’ financial requirements coupled with the intense competitiveness of the investment banking industry necessitates a full commitment to the task at hand. Standards are very high as most work is presented to senior executives at client firms and supervision is provided only to the extent that it is required.

With a limited hierarchy of professionals and a small project team approach you will have ample opportunity for career growth and development. On any given project, you'll interact with other departments of the firm such as Corporate Banking, Equity Capital Markets, Global Fixed Income and Global Equity Derivatives gaining knowledge and understanding of both investment banking and the capital markets.

What You'll Do

• Evaluating and analyzing the financial needs of corporate clients, including the development of financial models
• Creating marketing materials and presentations
• Supporting transaction structuring and execution efforts, with increasing levels of responsibility and accountability over time
• Identifying and developing business opportunities with clients
• Perform comprehensive financial statement analysis and create and maintain models
• Collect, consolidate and interpret company and industry data to complete financial and written analysis of companies and industries
• Preparing client presentations, including compiling data and assembling presentation materials
• Supporting drafting of marketing materials for transactions
• Applying product and capital markets knowledge to help clients achieve their financial objectives
  
  

What You'll Bring

• 2-5 years’ work experience in Investment Banking or M&A
• A Bachelors or Masters Degree in Business, Finance, Math, Engineering, Economics, Science or Technology would be preferred
• Strong quantitative skills focused on financial analysis, accounting and financial theory
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent command of Microsoft Suite, with an emphasis on Excel
• A high level of attention to detail
• Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining a high standard of work
• The ability to excel under pressure amid demanding deadlines and perform effectively in a team environment
• High professional standards including a strong sense of personal integrity and teamwork
• Demonstrated ability to quickly adapt to new situations
• A high level of energy and a keen desire to learn new concepts
• Independent thinker and proven ability to make decisions
