Job description

£120k to £150k base + bonus and upside - Route to Partner

Be the first senior Debt Advisory hire in London and shape the practice you could go on to lead as Partner.

Debt Advisory is already established elsewhere in the firm. London has a growing Corporate Finance team, and the wider advisory group has an established client and Partner network. The next step is to build a dedicated Debt Advisory presence across London and the South. This hire will have a hand in deciding where to focus, which relationships to develop and how the team grows as mandates come through.

The work you’ll win and lead

You’ll advise businesses and sponsors on debt raises typically between £1m and £20m, with London and the South expected to see more opportunities towards the top end of that range. The focus is cashflow and leveraged lending, including acquisition finance, refinancing, revolving credit facilities and other structured debt raises.

You’ll develop your own pipeline and work alongside Corporate Finance colleagues to spot where financing advice can help on live and upcoming deals. You’ll also draw on the wider client and Partner network for introductions and work with established Debt Advisory colleagues elsewhere in the firm to deliver mandates.

What makes this a step up

• You’ll be the first senior hire dedicated to Debt Advisory in London and the South, with real influence over how the offering takes shape.
• You’ll have experienced Debt Advisory colleagues and a growing London Corporate Finance team to work with from day one.
• You’ll have scope to build a local team as the volume of work grows.
• There’s a clear route to Partner for someone who can originate, deliver and build a sustainable London practice.

Who it will suit

A Debt Advisory or leveraged finance professional ready to take on a bigger commercial remit. You’ll have led financing transactions and can point to opportunities you opened yourself or played a material part in turning into mandates.

You’ll bring active relationships in London and the South. Those might be with private equity sponsors, lenders, lawyers and other introducers, business owners, corporates or family offices. What matters is how you’ve used those relationships to create opportunities and what you could build with the firm behind you.
