Join a leading global advisory firm recognised for independent, conflict-free advice on some of the most complex and strategically significant transactions in the market. The firm advises boards, shareholders, and institutions on high-stakes decisions, with a long-standing reputation for discretion, intellectual rigour, and execution excellence.

With a robust and growing Australian presence and deep connectivity into global markets, the platform advises on landmark M&A;, defence, restructuring, and capital solutions across sectors including healthcare, infrastructure, industrials, consumer, and financial services.

- Manage key execution tasks across live deals, liaising with clients, counterparties,



and external advisers under senior supervision
- Conduct sector, company, and market analysis to support both live transactions and origination initiatives
- Work closely with senior bankers to support negotiations, client meetings, and long-term relationship development
- Review and coordinate analyst-level work where appropriate, maintaining high technical and presentation standards

What You’ll Bring

- 2–5 years’ experience in investment banking or top-tier corporate advisory
- Demonstrated transaction exposure across M&A; and/or complex advisory assignments
- Strong financial modelling, valuation, and analytical capability
- Clear written and verbal communication skills with strong attention to detail
- Ability to perform under pressure in a demanding, high-expectation environment
- Degree in Finance, Commerce, Economics, or a related discipline (CFA progression viewed favourably)

Why Join This Platform

- Exposure to high-profile, market-defining advisory assignments
- Genuine advisory-only model with no balance sheet conflicts
- Close day-to-day interaction with senior bankers and clients
- Collegiate, intellectually rigorous culture focused on quality of work
- Clear development pathway from Analyst through Associate for strong performers
