Investment Banking Associate - UK Strategic Advisory | US Elite Boutique
Dartmouth is working with one of the most experienced and highly regarded UK Advisory teams in the industry on an exciting Associate-level hire.
This firm has been at the centre of some of the largest and most complex transactions of the past two decades — and their UK Advisory group is genuinely one of the best places in the market to develop as a banking professional.
As an Associate, you'll work directly with companies across a broad range of transactions; from M&A, joint ventures, asset sales, restructurings, and divestitures — across sectors including technology, media & telecoms, consumer, energy, industrials and healthcare.
What makes this role stand out is the size of the team. It's lean and poised for strong growth, which means Associates get genuine client exposure and work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior bankers — many of whom have come from US bulge bracket investment banks.
What the role involves:
- Conducting targeted industry research for investment and advisory purposes
- Performing valuation analysis of prospective investment opportunities, including financial risk assessment
- Benchmarking company financial data against industry peers to forecast sector trends
- Designing and developing quantitative models to assess the economic performance of target companies
- Preparing written investment analyses and evaluations for senior management and client review
- Participating in client meetings, contract negotiations, and due diligence sessions
If you're at a bulge bracket investment bank and feel like a small cog in a big machine, this is the antidote. The breadth of sector coverage, the calibre of the senior team, and the level of responsibility on offer at Associate level here is genuinely hard to match elsewhere in the market.
I'd strongly encourage anyone with a solid M&A or advisory background to reach out — even if you're not actively looking. These roles don't come up often.
