Position Highlights:

Analysts 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.

With a limited hierarchy of professionals and a small project team approach, Analysts have ample opportunity for career growth and development. On any given project, Analysts will 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.

Major Activities Include:

• Perform comprehensive financial statement analysis and create and maintain models

• Financial and written analysis of companies and industries
• Preparing client presentations, including compiling data and assembling presentation materials
• Supporting drafting of prospectuses, related documentation and marketing materials for transactions
• Applying product and capital markets knowledge to help clients achieve their financial objectives

Requirements:

• 2+ years’ work experience in Investment Banking or the power/utilities sector preferred
• Bachelors or Masters Degree in Business, Finance, Math, Engineering, Economics, Science or Technology
• Proven record of outstanding achievement in academic and extracurricular activities
