Investment Banking Analyst | Venture Debt / Private Credit
London | £120k-£160k OTE
We’re partnering with a fast-growing venture debt advisory business to hire an Investment Banking Analyst for its London team.
We’re specifically looking to speak with Analysts who have trained within Investment Banking, ideally within a leading global bank or advisory firm, and are interested in applying that experience within the growing venture debt and private credit market.
Working with high-growth, technology and tech-enabled businesses, the team helps founders and management teams raise institutional debt capital to fund growth, acquisitions and expansion.
For someone interested in technology, high-growth businesses and the wider venture ecosystem, it offers an interesting alternative to the more traditional Investment Banking exit routes.
The Role:
- You’ll work across live debt transactions, getting much closer to clients and senior decision-makers than you typically would at Analyst level.
- Your remit will include:
- Financial modelling and credit analysis
- Assessing leverage, cash flows and debt capacity
- Supporting the structuring and execution of debt financings
- Preparing high-quality transaction and lender materials
- Company, sector and market analysis
- Supporting due diligence and lender processes
- Working directly with founders, CFOs and financing partners

- The preferred background is 1-3 years within Investment Banking.
- We’re particularly interested in Analysts with experience across Leveraged Finance, Debt Advisory, Acquisition Finance, Financial Sponsors, Restructuring or M&A.
- Exceptional candidates from Private Credit or Direct Lending backgrounds will also be considered.
You’ll Need:
- Strong financial modelling and analytical skills
- Excellent Excel and PowerPoint
- Experience producing high-quality transaction materials
- Strong commercial judgement and attention to detail
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work directly with clients
- An entrepreneurial mindset and genuine appetite for responsibility
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why consider it?
- This is an opportunity to take the training gained within Investment Banking and apply it in a smaller, entrepreneurial environment, with earlier client exposure and greater involvement across the transaction process.
- You’ll work closely with founders, CFOs and institutional lenders, while building specialist experience across the rapidly growing venture debt and private credit markets.
- It should particularly appeal to someone who enjoys the technical and transaction side of banking but wants to be closer to high-growth businesses and the venture ecosystem.
