Responsibilities

PJT Partners’ Strategic Advisory team in Mumbai is seeking for a Vice President with strong analytical and writing skills, who takes initiative, has great attention to detail, works well under pressure, and has the ability to perform both independently and within teams in a boutique investment advisory firm.

The Advisory group is one of the most experienced investment banking teams in the industry, and has been involved in some of the largest, most complex transactions of the past twenty years. Our global team focuses on a diverse set of industries, including technology, media & telecommunications, energy, power & utilities, oil & gas, industrials, healthcare, and real estate, gaming & lodging.

Vice Presidents within the Advisory group work directly with companies in evaluating, structuring and recommending financial and strategic alternatives. They typically work on a wide variety of transactions including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, asset sales, restructurings 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.

Responsibilities for this individual will include:

• Analysing financial data and developments in financial markets important to the business of PJT Partners.

• Conducting research of targeted industries for investment purposes.

• Performing valuation analysis of prospective investment opportunities under consideration, including the assessment of financial risks.

• Comparing a company’s financial data with other companies of the same industry, size, and location to the forecast of industry trends.

• Designing and developing quantitative models to assess the economic performance of targeted companies.

• Preparing written analysis and evaluations of investment opportunities for use by PJT Partners management and review by clients.

• Participating in both internal and external client meetings, negotiation of contracts and other agreements, and due diligence sessions.

• Work with senior management and coordinate associate / analyst materials

• Mentoring and training of juniors

In addition to core advisory responsibilities, the individual may play a role in supporting the establishment and ongoing management of PJT Partners’ merchant banking activities in India. This may include, subject to internal governance and regulatory approvals, acting as or supporting the Principal Officer for the purposes of applicable SEBI (Merchant Bankers) regulations, with responsibility for oversight of merchant banking operations, governance, compliance, and regulatory engagement in India. The Vice President will be a critical member of PJT’s expanding India Coverage team with direct involvement in both deal execution and business development, working on lean deal teams with direct exposure to the most senior practitioners. The role will span across a number of sectors. Given the lean nature of our teams all our bankers are flexible and should be prepared to work in sectors/countries outside their main area of focus.
