As an Investment Banking Analyst at RJM & Company (“RJM”), you will assist senior bankers as they provide clients with strategic advisory services for mergers, acquisitions, capital raising, and various other financial advisory mandates. Analysts at RJM are heavily involved in all aspects of the transactions on which they are staffed. Firmwide, we focus on training analysts in the early stages of their careers on the foundational tools necessary to understand the fundamental drivers of valuation and structure, arming them with the necessary foundation to advance through the ranks, depending on the work ethic and ability the team member exhibits. Analysts at RJM are not shielded from key discussions with clients or counterparties and are regularly asked to produce meaningful work product for live mandates. The opportunity for real time contribution is significant. While everything we do at RJM is a team effort, all team members are individually expected to execute assignments in a thoughtful, creative, and defensible way, which can be clearly articulated internally and externally. If you are a candidate confident in your ability to learn quickly, not afraid to fail, willing to debate your colleagues in a respectful and productive way to find the best solutions, and have the ambition to jump in to live transactions immediately, we would like to talk with you. The exposure is unmatched, and so are the expectations.
