As a lean, entrepreneurial team within Citi’s global Investment Banking and Markets platform, professionals are given early responsibility, direct client exposure and the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to both transaction execution and the continued growth of the business.
This role offers significant client exposure, meaningful transaction responsibility and the opportunity to work alongside senior decision-makers at many of the world’s leading alternative asset managers.
What you'll do
- Support the origination and execution of continuation vehicles, preferred equity investments and other strategic capital solutions.
- Build sophisticated financial models, valuation analyses and transaction structures at both the portfolio company and fund level.
- Develop client presentations, strategic analyses, marketing materials and investment committee documentation.
- Conduct financial, commercial and structural due diligence across complex private markets transactions.
- Coordinate execution processes with clients, legal counsel, accounting firms, financing providers and other advisors.
- Support investor marketing efforts, including preparation of marketing materials, management presentations, investor due diligence and transaction execution.
- Work closely with Sponsor Coverage, Investment Banking, Capital Markets, Financing and other product partners across Citi to deliver integrated client solutions.
- Monitor market developments across GP-led secondaries, private capital formation and broader strategic capital solutions.
- Contribute to internal market intelligence, analytical tools, thought leadership and business development initiatives supporting the continued expansion of the Advisory platform.
