Associate - Strategic Advisory (Technology)

PJT Partners•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

PJT Partners is a global advisory-focused investment bank. Our team of senior professionals delivers a wide array of strategic advisory, shareholder advisory, restructuring and special situations and private fund advisory and placement services to corporations, financial sponsors, institutional investors and governments around the world. We offer a unique portfolio of advisory services designed to help our clients achieve their strategic objectives. We also provide, through PJT Park Hill, private fund advisory and fundraising services for alternative investment managers, including private equity funds, real estate funds and hedge funds. From the beginning, PJT Partners has firmly believed that having the best people is key to building an enduring franchise. Our perspective was, and remains, that a great team brings in both top tier clients and appeals to a wide-range of diverse, talented colleagues. Fostering an inclusive culture, which welcomes differing perspectives and beliefs, enables us to provide the best advice and insights to our clients. The Strategic Advisory Group is one of the most experienced teams in the industry and has been involved in some of the largest, most complex transactions in recent years. Our global team focuses on a diverse set of industries, including technology, media & telecommunications, consumer, energy, oil & gas, power, utilities & renewables, industrials, healthcare and real estate, gaming, lodging and leisure. Associates within the Advisory group work directly with companies in evaluating, structuring and recommending financial and strategic alternatives. Associates typically work on a wide variety of transactions including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, asset sales, and divestitures. They are staffed directly on client teams and are expected to be involved in all aspects of a transaction, including due diligence, valuation analysis, and the negotiating of contracts and other agreements. The comparatively small size of this group offers professionals the unique opportunity to gain client exposure and work closely with senior members of the team, many of whom were previously group heads at leading investment banking firms. The Strategic Advisory team in San Francisco is focused exclusively on the Technology sector, and as a result we are seeking candidates who possess knowledge of and interest in the Technology industry.
