M&A Associate — Financial Services
A highly regarded international investment bank is seeking an experienced M&A Associate to join its growing Financial Services advisory team in London.
The team advises a broad range of public and private-sector clients across specialist lending, consumer and commercial finance, and wider financial-services subsectors. It has an established cross-border franchise, combining deep sector expertise with a strong track record in sell-side, buy-side and capital-raising mandates.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Associate to take on meaningful execution responsibility within a collaborative, entrepreneurial and high-performing platform.

Responsibilities will include:
- Taking a central role in the execution of M&A and capital-raising mandates
- Building, reviewing and managing detailed financial models, valuation work and transaction analyses
- Producing marketing materials, pitch books, management presentations and confidential information memoranda
- Conducting company, sector, competitor and buyer research
- Managing due-diligence workstreams and coordinating transaction processes
- Supporting senior bankers with client coverage, idea generation and origination initiatives
- Reviewing and developing Analyst work, providing day-to-day guidance and quality control
- Building relationships with clients, investors and other market participants across the financial-services sector
