What you will do
- We are seeking a full time Analyst to join the Corporate & Projects Workouts ("CPW") team in London.

- The team also underwrites protective investments if required and provides consultation services to the regional offices.
- With a footprint in Chicago, New York and London, the London team's portfolio covers UK and European assets but works directly with the US based teams.
- As the underwriting side is industry agnostic, you will get exposure to a broad array of businesses and situations, from FTSE250 companies, to private family owned enterprises and mezzanine debt investments.
- The successful candidate will be a member of a small team in London, so your input and responsibilities will be meaningful from day one.
What you can expect
- Assess business and financial strategy for portfolio companies.
- Carry out financial analysis and modelling, including manual valuations.
- Complete written memos for internal approval and monitoring purposes.
- Coordinate with external parties effectively, whether senior management teams of portfolio companies, external lawyers or financial advisors.
- Review supporting information and analysis for live restructurings.

What you will bring
- Relevant experience in finance, restructuring, private credit underwriting, investment banking, commercial banking or asset management.
- Direct restructuring experience beneficial, but not required.
- Minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree (all subjects areas considered).
- Excellent analytical and accounting skills.
- Strong writing, interpersonal and communication skills.
- Familiarity with the capital markets.
- A self-starter with the ability to manage multiple work streams and prioritize effectively, often under time pressure.
- Strong work ethic and flexibility - our team is split across times zones, so a willingness to manage this and meet the expectations of the role that come with this, is essential.
- Participation in the Chartered Financial Analysts® (CFA) program is a plus.

- Private Medical Insurance: PGIM offers private medical insurance and pays the full premium on behalf of all employees.
- Annual Leave of 25 to 28 days, based on years of service, at full pay.
