Job Description
Acting on behalf of an international mid-market investment banking client, I am seeking a Restructuring Analyst to join an established London-based Capital Advisory practice. Sustained mandate growth has created the requirement for an additional high-calibre Analyst.

The Opportunity
n
n
The firm forms part of a Japanese banking group with more than a century of operating history, providing the London team with substantial institutional backing alongside genuine cross-border capability — in excess of 750 professionals operating from approximately two dozen offices across Europe, North America and Asia.

The debt advisory and restructuring practice completed roughly twenty debt and restructuring transactions in its most recent financial year and has arranged more than €120 billion of capital over the past five years. Recent engagements span a multi-billion dollar recapitalisation effected via a UK Restructuring Plan, representation of an ad hoc noteholder group on a €340 million capital structure, and a series of creditor-side mandates across complex European industrial credits. Analysts therefore gain exposure to both company-side and creditor-side situations rather than a single perspective.
n
The team operates a deliberately flat structure led by managing directors with two decades or more of balance-sheet experience, within a UK mid-market debt franchise that recorded in excess of sixty transactions in a single recent quarter. In practice, this translates into substantive analytical and modelling responsibility from an early stage.
