Investment Banking Senior Associate – TMT
The Firm
This is a fabulous opportunity to join a leading international investment bank in a period of growth, with a strong track record of completing successful M&A transactions across the mid-market.
My client is looking to hire an Investment Banking Senior Associate with a minimum of 6 years of M&A execution experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead transaction execution from start to finish — manage the full lifecycle of M&A, equity/debt capital raising, or other corporate finance transactions for technology clients. This includes working on live deals across multiple transactions concurrently.
- Be the main client contact on engagements — interface regularly with C-suite executives (CEOs, CFOs, Corporate Development leads) at client companies (public or private), acting as the principal day-to-day banker on the transaction.
- Prepare and deliver client materials — develop pitch decks, information memoranda, financial models, valuation analyses, and other transaction documentation. Presentations and deliverables must be of high quality, suitable for senior stakeholders.
- Perform financial analysis, valuation, and due diligence — lead or oversee valuation work (DCF, comparables, other relevant methods), financial modelling, and due diligence to support M&A or financing decisions.
- Originate / support deal sourcing and pitch development — while execution is often the primary focus, VPs will also assist (or lead, depending on level) in origination — building relationships, identifying potential mandates, contributing to pitch strategy and outreach to prospective clients or investors.
- Manage and mentor junior team members — supervise associates and analysts, review their work (models, decks), ensure quality control, set deadlines and manage workflow across multiple deals.
- Collaborate internally across product & coverage teams — coordinate with other parts of Stifel (e.g. ECM, debt capital markets, other sectors) when transactions require multi-product or cross-sector capabilities, leveraging the full resources of the firm.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
