Organisation Description
FulcrumLens is a student-led research publication specialising in corporate restructuring, liability management, and distressed debt. The team produces concise, technical case studies and outlooks on real-world situations. All content is written and peer-reviewed in-house by students, offering a rigorous and academically grounded perspective. FulcrumLens is free to access and focuses on the critical moment when a capital structure breaks, a niche rarely covered in mainstream finance publications. The organisation provides students with an opportunity to develop technical restructuring and distressed credit skills through practical research.
About the Role
As an Analyst, you will contribute to restructuring and distressed credit research by analysing live situations, evaluating capital structures, and producing technical research publications. No prior restructuring experience is required. We are looking for students with strong analytical ability, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.
