About The Position

This position is based in our New York office and is part of our dedicated Capital Markets Advisory team. Our Capital Markets Advisory Group provides equity and debt advisory services to a wide variety of clients, from multinational, public corporations to privately held companies either sponsor-backed or founder-owned. The Capital Markets Advisory team works in partnership with PJT Partners’ Strategic Advisory, Park Hill, Restructuring and Camberview teams. This position sits within the Strategic Advisory Group, which is one of the most experienced investment banking 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 financial institutions, healthcare, industrials, energy, power & utilities, real estate, gaming & lodging, consumer and retail, and technology, sports, media & telecommunications. Upon completion of training, Summer Associates will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of pitches and live transactions while being staffed on a number of assignments at once. Due to the relatively small size of the professional staff, a Summer Associate will assume an integral role on their deal teams, often working directly with senior level bankers.
