Equity Capital Markets Associate / Senior Associate
Leading International Firm - Birmingham
4 Years’ PQE+
££££
Hybrid Working
* A leading firm are looking for a Corporate Associate with 4 Years’+ ECM experience to join their Capital Markets team in Birmingham. This opportunity is only for those with real ambition and entrepreneurial drive – it’s for candidates who genuinely want Partnership and who want to play a part in building an already established offering into the pre-eminent Capital Markets practice in the Midlands and beyond.
* GENUINE PROGRESSION. This opportunity offers the best progression pathway I have seen in a long time. The absolute intention is for this new hire to immediately become a senior member of the team, and quickly ascend to Partnership. You will make Partner here quicker than you would at any other leading firm in Birmingham – fact.
* GAIN A SPONSOR. You will work closely with a new Junior Partner who has just joined from a leading US Firm in London. I know this Partner well as I was responsible for placing them at their current firm – at any firm you need a sponsor to achieve Partnership; this Partner is looking for their number 2 and wants to act as their sponsor. With them being a junior partner, they know what is important (and necessary) for associates / senior associates (proper access to existing clients and opportunities to build your own network, including support for business development initiatives at all levels) – they will give you all this and more, and also act as a mentor.
* JOIN A HIGHLY REGARDED, AMBITIOUS PRACTICE. This Capital Markets team has a client base stretching from the UK, through Europe, Asia and the Americas. It enjoys deep relationships within the advisory community in London and has clients listed on both the Main Stock Exchange and on AIM. This team has more AIM experience than most national and regional firms in the UK and acts for many of the leading nominated advisers and brokers in the Midlands and in the City. You will therefore enjoy a unique mix of local and City/International work.
* AUTONOMY AND SUPPORT. You’ll be expected to run point of transactions, but will always have Partner support where required. And you’ll be doing real, important work – the team has a deep bench of junior associates to assist with the admin-heavy tasks which arise on deals together with a dedicated team of PSLs and a well-maintained precedent bank. You will not just be turning documents – from day 1 you will be regarded as a senior member of the team and your input valued highly.
This opportunity will genuinely change the trajectory of your life and career for the better. If you would like to learn more, please either apply or contact Dominic Roberts at QED Legal – all approaches will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
