- Conducting company and sector research across software, internet, fintech, digital infrastructure, IT services, cybersecurity, data, and other technology subsectors.
- Coordinating with clients, investors, legal advisers, accountants, consultants, and internal product teams throughout transaction processes.
- Supporting senior bankers with origination initiatives, client coverage, market updates, and strategic pitches.
- Managing Analysts and junior team members, reviewing workstreams, and helping drive high standards across execution.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Investment banking, M&A advisory, corporate finance, or transaction services experience, ideally at Analyst 3 or Associate level.
- Strong technical skills across financial modelling, valuation, accounting, and transaction execution.
- Experience in technology M&A or a demonstrable interest in the technology sector.
- Excellent attention to detail, communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams in a demanding environment.
- The confidence to work with senior stakeholders and contribute meaningfully to client discussions.
- A proactive, commercial mindset and the ability to operate effectively within a fast-paced global banking platform.
Why this opportunity stands out:
This is a chance to join one of the most recognised names in global investment banking and become part of a high-performing Technology M&A team with a strong pipeline of transactions. The successful candidate will benefit from exposure to landmark deals, international clients, and best-in-class training and development. The role offers a strong platform for career progression, with the opportunity to build deep sector expertise and work alongside highly experienced senior bankers.
