SJC Partners are working with a leading advisory firm that is looking to appoint an Assistant Director into its London Debt Advisory team.
The team is one of the dominant names locally in leveraged and private equity-backed transactions, with a strong track record of advising leading PE houses and management teams on complex financing situations. This is a genuinely advisory-led role focused on leverage, rather than a generic corporate coverage position, offering significant exposure to sponsors, lenders and high-quality transactions.
You will work across a broad range of leveraged and Debt Advisory assignments, including:
- Private equity-backed acquisitions and leveraged transactions
- Acquisition finance and debt raising
- Refinancing and recapitalisation
- Capital structure advice
- Lender negotiations
- M&A-related financing
