IB FIG Associate

About the Opportunity

A top-tier global bank's investment banking division is expanding its Financial Institutions coverage team in New York.

Join a lean, high-performing team where Associates get direct exposure to live M&A and capital markets processes, not just modeling in the background.

Work across a mix of buy-side and sell-side M&A, capital raising, and strategic advisory mandates.

Backed by a major global balance sheet with a strong track record of closed transactions this year, including acquisition advisory, IPO book running, and large-scale capital raises.

Fast-growing platform actively building out its junior bench, real opportunity for accelerated responsibility and progression.

• 2-5+ years of investment banking, M&A advisory, or transaction execution experience (Analyst through Associate level considered)
• Strong technical foundation: 3-statement modeling, merger consequence / accretion-dilution analysis, valuation (DCF, comps, precedents)
• Demonstrated ability to independently own work streams—diligence, deal materials, buyer/investor outreach, process management
• Comfortable working across complex balance sheets; financial services, specialty finance, or insurance exposure is a strong plus but not required
• Candidates from bulge bracket, boutique, or Big 4 transaction advisory backgrounds welcome—focus on deal reps and technical rigor, not pedigree alone

Strong technical modeling skills are a prerequisite for this role. Candidates should expect a technical component as part of the interview process, alongside conversations with the team and senior leadership.
