Associate - Strategic Advisory (Industrials)

3 weeks ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom PJT Partners Full time
Role Description:

The Advisory group is one of the most experienced investment banking teams in the industry and has been involved in some of the largest, most complex transactions of the past twenty years. Our global Industrials team focuses on a diverse set of sub-verticals, with senior London bankers specialising in Automotive, Capital Goods, Aerospace & Defence, Business Services, Power Equipment, Industrial Technology, and New Energy. The team interacts extensively with country coverage colleagues across Europe, focusing its time on large situations where years of experience and close relationships allow direct access to decision makers and the opportunity to work alongside companies in defining their future.

The London team also plays a central role in maintaining relationships with some of the firm's most important global clients. There is ample opportunity for young bankers to develop through: substantial exposure to senior personnel across the breadth of the industrials landscape; and exciting opportunities linked to energy transition, autonomous and electrified vehicles, climate, new space and sustainability goals where exposure to earlier stage companies with industry changing propositions allows an Associate to play a meaningful role in the client relationship.

Associates within the Advisory group work directly with companies in evaluating, structuring and recommending financial and strategic alternatives. Associates work on a wide variety of transactions including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, asset sales, capital raisings, public offerings, restructurings and divestitures. Associates are staffed directly on client teams and are expected to be involved in all aspects of a transaction, including due diligence, valuation analysis, the negotiating of contracts as well as ongoing client coverage & relationship building. The comparatively small size of this group offers professionals the unique opportunity to gain client exposure and work closely with senior members of the team.

Responsibilities:

The Associate focused in the Industrials space will be a critical part of expanding the platform with heavy involvement in both deal execution and business development, working with lean deal teams and directly with senior industrials practitioners at PJT. Responsibilities for this individual will include:
  • Evaluating, structuring, and recommending financial and strategic alternatives, including the analysis of mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic combinations, asset sales, and divestures.
  • Leading the day-to-day execution of transactions, including due diligence, valuation analysis, and the negotiating of contracts and other agreements; work with senior management and coordinate associate / analyst materials.
  • Analysing financial data and developments in financial markets important to the business of PJT Partners.
  • Conducting research of targeted industries for investment purposes.
  • Performing valuation analysis of prospective investment opportunities under consideration, including the assessment of financial risks.
  • Comparing a company's financial data with other companies of the same industry, size, and location to the forecast of industry trends.
  • Designing and develop quantitative models to assess the economic performance of targeted companies.
  • Preparing written analysis and evaluations of investment opportunities for use by PJT Partners management and review by clients.
  • Participating in both internal and external client meetings, negotiation of contracts and other agreements, and due diligence sessions.
    The team is well established at the Partner and Managing Director levels and is looking for a candidate with relevant industrials experience, a strong interest in working across large and small companies and the personality to thrive as a key part of the industrials team.

    Requirements:

    We seek to hire individuals who are highly motivated, intelligent, and are proven self-starters. In addition to strong analytical and quantitative skills, the successful candidate should have excellent communication skills, a demonstrated ability to write effectively, interests outside of work and a desire to work in a team environment.

    To be considered for the position, applicants must also meet the following criteria:
    • Bachelor's Degree
    • Minimum 3 years of experience in investment banking plus affinity with and/or direct experience in general industrials
    • Resume must be in PDF format
    • A strong background in finance/accounting is required
