• Preparing client presentations, proposals and internal underwriting memos
• Supporting client negotiations and transaction documentation
• Overseeing, training and developing Analysts to ensure accuracy and quality of work

What we’re looking for

• Direct Investment Banking experience is essential, with 2+ years of relevant experience
• Real M&A transaction experience, ideally having held the pen on 3-statement, operating and transaction models
• Prior digital infrastructure or telecom deal experience is strongly preferred, though strong candidates from other modelling-heavy coverage groups will be considered
• Undergraduate degree in Business (Accounting or Finance), Mathematics or Economics or a relevant field.
• Series 7, 79 and 63 licenses, or willingness to obtain
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working in a lean, high-performing team
