Understand the key business drivers as well as identifying, and managing key issues and risks through insights, factual conclusions, and advice.
Meet the transaction timetable, ensuring quality on client deliverables such as marketing materials, as well as engaging with counterparties and other advisers to ensure transaction milestones are met.
Coordinate with cross-functional teams including finance, legal, HR, IT, operations, and marketing during deals execution.
Stay abreast of industry trends and competitor activities.
Counsel junior colleagues, share knowledge, and take an active role in the growth and development of the whole team.
Skills And Attributes For Success
Experience of corporate finance in an investment bank, professional services firm, or boutique with a track record of working on both the buy-side and sell-side, as well as finance raising. The role would require strong numerical, financial and modeling skills based on a well-developed understanding of financial statements.

Ideally, you will also have:
