About our client
We are working with a leading independent investment bank that is looking to add an Associate to the secondary advisory side of its private capital advisory team.
What the job involves
As an Associate in the team, you can expect to have responsibilities across the transaction process: from origination and execution through to project management and client relationship maintenance and development. You will also be involved with the management and training of more junior members of the team. The team itself is lean and will therefore offer plenty of scope for career progression.
Drafting and coordinating the preparation of pitch presentations, information memoranda and other marketing materials
Taking the lead on deal origination through market analyses
Performing a key role in executing and project-managing client mandates
Interfacing with clients, buyers, sellers, legal counsels, financing providers and investors
Proactively supporting the team’s MD and Principals
Creating and coordinating the creation of financial models and business valuations
Conducting industry and company-specific due diligence related to transactions
Attending client meetings
Managing, development training and coaching of analysts and interns
Who we are looking for
Enthusiasm to develop a career in the private equity secondary market
Proven investment banking, secondary advisory or relevant financial services experience of a minimum of 2 years
Experience in scoping and executing secondary transactions is advantageous
Exceptional academic credentials
Relevant professional qualification (e.g. CFA or ACA) is advantageous
Firm grasp of asset and fund valuation methods
A strong work ethic and the ability to maintain high standards on all tasks
A keen eye for detail, strong numerical ability and logical reasoning
Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly
Demonstrable commercial awareness and a real interest in secondary transactions
