Apply for Analyst, Mergers & Acquisitions
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES · Full-time
Role Overview
The firm is recruiting an Analyst to its Mergers & Acquisitions practice in New York. The Analyst sits at the centre of live transaction work — financial modelling, valuation analysis, materials preparation, due diligence coordination, and process execution from origination through close. Analysts are embedded in live mandates from week one and operate alongside senior practitioners on transactions that frequently demand jurisdictional, structural, and commercial fluency from the earliest stages.
The practice acts for privately held businesses, founder-led enterprises, family offices, and portfolio companies — clients for whom the transaction at hand is often the most consequential commercial decision of the principal's career. The work spans technology, real estate, energy, healthcare, industrials, consumer sectors, and beyond. Cross-border execution is the norm rather than the exception; mandates routinely cross the firm's nine offices, and the Analyst is expected to develop fluency across multiple jurisdictions from an early stage.
The Analyst position is intended as a foundational training period for a high-calibre individual entering private-market M&A at the most exposed point of the work. The platform — proprietary investor network, principal-led origination, distributed execution model — is designed to provide the depth of exposure that takes years to accumulate at a larger institution.
What This Role Demands
- Precision under time pressure; the materials produced are reviewed by principals for whom imprecision is unacceptable
- Genuine intellectual engagement with transactions, structures, and the businesses behind them
- Discretion as default behaviour; much of the firm's work is confidential by design and no exception is made for junior team members
- Self-direction; the role expects ownership of workstreams without close supervision
- Comfort operating across time zones spanning the firm's nine offices
Requirements
- 1–3 years' experience in investment banking, principal investing, transaction services, or a directly relevant practice
- Exceptional academic record from a leading institution
- Demonstrated proficiency in financial modelling, valuation analysis, and the preparation of confidential professional materials
- Strong written and verbal communication; fluency across formal and conversational registers
- Demonstrated ability to manage confidential information with discretion
- Right to work in the United States
