This role represents a unique opportunity to be involved in building the foundation of an entrepreneurial enterprise with significant senior sponsorship under J.P. Morgan’s world-class banner as part of our EMEA M&A team.
The successful candidate will play a central role in advising clients with respect to engaging with investors in M&A transactions, shareholder activism and corporate defence. At the same time, such candidate will have great exposure to major M&A transactions that take place in EMEA and in a group that consistently ranks as one of the EMEA's pre-eminent M&A advisory franchises.
You will work with expert professionals at the heart of a leading global investment bank and will get exposure to formal training, hands-on learning opportunities, continuous mentoring and feedback, and numerous development opportunities. You will develop strong skills in the major areas of investment banking and will be given the opportunity to develop into a senior officer who is capable of generating and executing his/her own transactions.
