Investment Banking Associate

A leading global banking group is expanding its advisory franchise in London. The platform combines senior sector relationships with the full weight of a global balance sheet, financing capability and cross border reach spanning Europe, the US and Asia. Deep sector coverage, integrated M&A and capital markets execution, and a genuine reputation across international markets.

We are hiring an Associate to sit at the centre of live M&A and capital markets processes. You will own the analysis, build the materials that go to boards and buyers, and work directly with senior bankers who are recognised names in their sector, with the added weight of a global platform behind every mandate.

• Execute sell side and buy side M&A mandates, from pitch through to completion, alongside ECM and DCM advisory work as required
• Build and own the valuation work including DCF, LBO, trading comparables, precedent transactions and sum of the parts analysis
• Draft the deal materials that carry the story, including teasers, information memorandums, management presentations and board papers
• Run diligence work streams and the data room, coordinating legal, financial and commercial advisers
• Support carve outs and platform or bolt on discussions alongside conventional M&A
• Manage analysts on your deals and hold the quality bar on everything that leaves the team
• Work directly with senior clients and counter parties, and start building the judgement that turns into origination later

• Around 2 to 3+ years of post graduate investment banking experience, at Associate 1 or Associate 2 level, from a bulge bracket, elite boutique or strong middle market platform
• Live M&A, ECM or DCM deal execution experience, ideally with genuine transaction exposure rather than pitch only work
• Strong modelling and valuation ability, with the commercial judgement to explain why the number is the number
• Confident written and verbal communication with senior clients
• Degree educated, ideally 2:1 or above from a leading university
• Existing right to work in the UK

• A seat within a genuinely global platform, giving you both sector depth and the reach and resources of an international bank
• Direct access to senior bankers with real standing across European and global markets
• Cross border European, US and Asian mandates
• Small teams, real early responsibility and a visible path forward
• Competitive compensation with meaningful upside
