Investment Banking Analyst | Venture Debt / Private Credit
We’re partnering with a fast-growing venture debt advisory business to hire an Investment Banking Analyst for its London team.
We’re specifically looking to speak with Analysts who have trained within Investment Banking, ideally within a leading global bank or advisory firm, and are interested in applying that experience within the growing venture debt and private credit market.
Working with high-growth, technology and tech-enabled businesses, the team helps founders and management teams raise institutional debt capital to fund growth, acquisitions and expansion.
For someone interested in technology, high-growth businesses and the wider venture ecosystem, it offers an interesting alternative to the more traditional Investment Banking exit routes.
The Role:
You’ll work across live debt transactions, getting much closer to clients and senior decision-makers than you typically would at Analyst level.
Your remit will include:
- Financial modelling and credit analysis
- Assessing leverage, cash flows and debt capacity
- Supporting the structuring and execution of debt financings
- Preparing high-quality transaction and lender materials
- Company, sector and market analysis
- Supporting due diligence and lender processes
- Working directly with founders, CFOs and financing partners
Who We’re Looking For:
The preferred background is 1-3 years within Investment Banking.
We’re particularly interested in Analysts with experience across Leveraged Finance, Debt Advisory, Acquisition Finance, Financial Sponsors, Restructuring or M&A.
Exceptional candidates from Private Credit or Direct Lending backgrounds will also be considered.
You’ll Need:
- Strong financial modelling and analytical skills
- Excellent Excel and PowerPoint
- Experience producing high-quality transaction materials
- Strong commercial judgement and attention to detail
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work directly with clients
- An entrepreneurial mindset and genuine appetite for responsibility
Why consider it?
This is an opportunity to take the training gained within Investment Banking and apply it in a smaller, entrepreneurial environment, with earlier client exposure and greater involvement across the transaction process.
You’ll work closely with founders, CFOs and institutional lenders, while building specialist experience across the rapidly growing venture debt and private credit markets.
It should particularly appeal to someone who enjoys the technical and transaction side of banking but wants to be closer to high-growth businesses and the venture ecosystem.
