Join a leading global advisory firm recognised for independent, conflict-free advice on some of the most complex and strategically significant transactions in the market. The firm advises boards, shareholders, and institutions on high-stakes decisions, with a long-standing reputation for discretion, intellectual rigour, and execution excellence.
With a strong and growing Australian presence and deep connectivity into global markets, the platform advises on landmark M&A, defence, restructuring, and capital solutions across sectors including healthcare, infrastructure, industrials, consumer, and financial services. Client relationships are long-term, senior-led, and built on trust rather than transaction volume.
This role is suited to an experienced Analyst or Junior Associate seeking early responsibility, direct exposure to senior bankers, and the opportunity to develop into a trusted adviser on complex, high-impact transactions.
What You’ll Do
- Support the execution of M&A, strategic advisory, and capital-related mandates, including complex and cross-border transactions.
- Build and maintain detailed financial models, valuations, and analytical workstreams to support live mandates and client advice.
- Prepare high-quality client materials, including strategic analyses, transaction documentation, and board-level presentations.
- Manage key execution tasks across live deals, liaising with clients, counterparties, and external advisers under senior supervision.
- Conduct sector, company, and market analysis to support both live transactions and origination initiatives.
- Work closely with senior bankers to support negotiations, client meetings, and long-term relationship development.
- Review and coordinate analyst-level work where appropriate, maintaining high technical and presentation standards.
What You’ll Bring
- 2–5 years’ experience in investment banking or top-tier corporate advisory.
- Demonstrated transaction exposure across M&A and/or complex advisory assignments.
- Strong financial modelling, valuation, and analytical capability.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills with strong attention to detail.
- Ability to perform under pressure in a demanding, high-expectation environment.
- Degree in Finance, Commerce, Economics, or a related discipline (CFA progression viewed favourably).
Why Join This Platform
- Exposure to high-profile, market-defining advisory assignments.
- Genuine advisory-only model with no balance sheet conflicts.
- Close day-to-day interaction with senior bankers and clients.
- Collegiate, intellectually rigorous culture focused on quality of work.
- Clear development pathway from Analyst through Associate for strong performers.
