Associate Investment Banker

Associate – Corporate Development

£80,000 – £100,000 + Bonus + Benefits

London | Hybrid (3 days in office)

iGaming | M&A | Strategic Investments

If you’re currently an Associate at a top-tier investment bank and looking for something more impactful, more strategic, and far closer to the value creation process, this is your opportunity to move in-house and help shape the future of one of the most dynamic sectors in digital.

We’re working with a market-leading global gaming group, aNYSE-listed, high-growth, and at the forefront of M&A and investment across the iGaming and sports betting space.

With a newly expanding London-based corporate development team, this is a rare opportunity to be part of strategic deals from the inside, working directly with founders, C-suite, and global stakeholders.

The Role

• Lead execution of M&A transactions, from origination and modelling to negotiation and closing
• Build and own detailed financial models, valuations, and investment analysis
• Prepare high-impact investment memos for board-level presentation
• Conduct market and competitive research to inform global growth strategy
• Partner closely with legal, strategy, and finance teams to execute complex deals
• Manage and build relationships with investors, bankers, and advisors

What You Bring

We’re looking for someone with around 3 years of experience as an Associate, having trained at a leading investment bank (e.g., Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley) and made the move into buy-side or strategic investment work.

• Proven deal execution across M&A or capital markets (mid-cap, cross-border ideal)
• Outstanding modelling, valuation, and commercial analysis skills
• Confidence presenting directly to leadership and external stakeholders
• A strategic, commercial mindset with strong attention to detail
• Tech, digital, or iGaming exposure is helpful — but not essential

Why Join?

This is a rare chance to own the execution, not just support it. You'll have:

• Executive visibility and direct impact on group strategy
• Autonomy, creativity, and a clear runway for growth
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial team that values rigour and ideas
• Exposure to a truly global business with exciting deal flow

The Package

• Base salary up to £100,000 + strong performance-based bonus
• Hybrid working – 3 days in office (Central London)
• Private healthcare, life insurance, cycle to work, and more
• Learning & development support
• Clear progression into senior roles within the investment or strategy function

If you're ready to move from execution support to strategic ownership and want to bring your skills to a sector that’s scaling globally, we’d love to speak.
