Job description

Investment Banking Associate, Industrials M&A

London | Associate Level

A leading global investment bank is looking to add an Associate to its Industrials M&A team in London, offering the opportunity to work on high-profile, complex transactions across the European Industrials landscape.

The team operates with a pure advisory mindset, working closely with senior bankers and clients on strategic M&A situations. The successful candidate will join a lean deal team with significant exposure to senior decision-makers and the opportunity to take meaningful responsibility throughout the transaction lifecycle.

The Role

As an Associate, you will play a key role in the execution and origination of M&A transactions, with responsibilities including:

• Leading financial analysis, valuation, modelling and transaction materials across live M&A mandates
• Managing significant elements of execution processes, including financial modelling, due diligence, process management and coordination with advisers
• Preparing and reviewing valuation analyses including DCF, precedent transactions, trading comparables and other relevant methodologies
• Developing client presentations, strategic materials, investment committee materials and transaction documentation
• Working directly with senior bankers and clients across the European Industrials sector
• Supporting and mentoring Analysts while taking increasing ownership of deal execution
• Contributing to the team's origination efforts through company analysis, sector research and identification of potential strategic opportunities

Candidate Profile

We are specifically looking for candidates with:

• Current experience within Investment Banking M&A, ideally from a recognised global, independent or high-quality advisory platform
• Approximately 3 to 5 years of relevant investment banking experience, with flexibility depending on current title and transaction exposure
• Relevant Industrials sector experience, with demonstrable exposure to transactions and companies across the sector
• Strong experience executing sell-side and/or buy-side M&A transactions
• Excellent technical ability, particularly across financial modelling, valuation and transaction analysis
• Strong understanding of the end-to-end M&A process and the ability to take ownership of workstreams on live transactions
• Experience reviewing and guiding Analyst-level work
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with confidence to interact directly with senior bankers and clients
• A strong academic background

Why Consider the Opportunity?

This is an attractive opportunity for an Associate looking to join a high-quality advisory platform with a strong reputation for complex and strategic M&A.

The role offers a combination of significant transaction exposure, lean deal teams, senior banker interaction and accelerated responsibility. Rather than operating within a heavily layered team structure, Associates are expected to play a central role in execution and develop quickly toward senior-level client responsibility.

Candidates coming from Investment Banking M&A with Industrials experience and particularly strong technical capabilities will be most relevant.
