About The Position

Goldman Sachs’ Southern Region Investment Banking team is part of Classic Investment Banking and provides a full suite of investment banking services, including buy- and sell-side M&A, debt and equity financings, and other strategic advisory. The team serves clients primarily across Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, covering large-cap and middle-market corporations and financial sponsors across the firm’s coverage areas. Although the team is generalist, much of its coverage focuses on consumer and retail, industrials, natural resources, and technology, media, and telecommunications. The team’s mandate is to act as the primary coverage and execution investment bankers for existing firm clients and to grow the firm’s business in the Southern Region. The role is based in Dallas and offers broad exposure to the firm’s coverage areas and products. The Dallas team has approximately 10 bankers and is part of a broader Investment Banking group of approximately 100 people, including Real Estate Financing, Relationship Lending, Marketing, the M&A Group, the Cross Markets Group, and the Chief Underwriting Office. Associates work closely with Managing Directors, Vice Presidents, Associates, and Analysts in the region and across product groups. Southern Region teams are often staffed with industry-group experts from offices in the United States and globally. Core banking teams are typically small, giving junior bankers exposure to senior colleagues and clients and a significant role in driving projects.
