The Business Selection & Conflicts Group (BSC) is the first point of contact within Investment Banking on potential new business mandates as well as queries regarding ongoing transactions.

Candidates also should have the ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with global BSC colleagues. The ideal candidate has 6+ years of conflicts management at a peer firm, transactional legal experience and/or transaction-oriented experience in a business or compliance-oriented role.
