Finance Associate - Remote working in London

Here you can expect a competitive and fair reward as well as recognition based on all round performance. A competitive salary and a host of family friendly policies including life assurance, private health and dental care for you and your family.

A range of flexible benefits including gym discount and retail vouchers. We support the causes you care about by giving you one day per year off to volunteer with any charity that you are involved with outside of work. A wellbeing strategy that focuses on preventative measures to maintain overall health, and tools and support for when our people experience physical or mental difficulties. The strategy focuses on four pillars: physical, emotional, financial and social aspects.

Most of our roles are hybrid, meaning that colleagues benefit from working in our office and remotely. We are happy to discuss this and other flexible working arrangements with you as part of the application and interview process. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, culture, or any other protected characteristics.

We are currently looking for dedicated leveraged finance associates and are open to individuals who have at least four years of post-qualification experience in finance, including experience working on leveraged finance transactions. The Leveraged Finance team is part of our Debt Finance practice which in turn is part of our wider Finance practice group. The Debt Finance team deals with a wide range of transactional financings including leveraged finance, real estate finance, asset-based lending, secured and unsecured corporate lending, non-contentious debt restructurings and distressed situations involving corporate trustees.

Your clients will include traditional banks, challenger banks, alternative lenders, private equity sponsors and corporates. You can expect to gain experience across a broad spectrum of acquisition financings and cashflow lending transactions, including senior, unitranche, super senior, mezzanine, and holdco PIK facilities. You would also work alongside our Private Equity team on the financing aspects of leveraged buyouts for our private equity clients.

Much of the work is cross-border for which you will be navigating the challenges that can arise in overseas jurisdictions in order to ensure a smooth process. You will join a team with an ambitious growth strategy backed by our senior leadership, in a role which offers room for career progression. We are aiming to do work of the highest quality, but in an environment which prizes enjoyment as well as excellence.
