As an Analyst, you have a high level of exposure to clients, represent the firm throughout the entire deal process, and cultivate a well-rounded skillset as an M&A expert within a specific industry group. We are hiring analysts for Boston, Minneapolis, Richmond, and San Francisco.

Along with your teammates, you will create major deal process deliverables, including:

• Pitch Materials
