Join a leading global advisory firm recognised for 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 Associate seeking early responsibility, direct exposure to senior bankers, and the opportunity to develop into a trusted adviser on complex, high-impact transactions.

- 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.
