Associate, Mergers & Acquisitions
About the role
Associates own workstreams across live transactions — modelling, materials, diligence coordination, structuring input, and direct counterparty contact — and are accountable for execution quality under the supervision of senior practitioners. The role provides direct exposure to private-market transactions across technology, real estate, energy, healthcare, industrials, and consumer sectors, with mandates often spanning multiple jurisdictions. The firm's deal flow is sourced through its principal network and origination partner programme rather than through traditional pitching cycles. Suited to candidates with prior investment banking, transaction advisory, or principal investing experience.
