NYC-AREA PART-TIME & TELECOMMUTING INVESTMENT BANKING POSITION
A 4 MONTH POSITION WITH THE LIKELIHOOD OF BECOMING A PERMANENT POSITION
IT IS NOT A LEGAL POSITION.

[Posted March 24, 2008]

A boutique investment bank is seeking a part-time, NYC-area professional to work 15 - 25 hours a week. This is a non-legal position requiring 2 - 6 years of investment banking experience. The position will be for a minimum
four-month term with the likelihood of transitioning into a permanent part-time position.

Employer Description: We are a boutique investment banking firm which focuses exclusively on mergers & acquisitions under $100 million in purchase price. We provide a high level of intellectual and transactional horsepower for our clients and work with passion and intensity; but we also strive to maintain outstanding work-life balance for our people. We have a small group of professionals, and currently are seeking an experienced investment banking professional with 2 to 6 years of experience specifically in mergers& acquisitions. An optimal candidate will have the ability to lead engagements with limited supervision.

Investment Banking Experience Required: Candidates must have 2 to 6 years of investment banking experience, specifically in mergers & acquisitions. Candidates should be able to (with only limited supervision) manage and lead
smaller engagements in their entirety, including:

  • Drafting offering memoranda;
  • Conducting financial statement analysis;
  • Identifying and pitching prospective buyers and sellers;
  • Negotiating a valuation, and a transaction structure.

New York City Location: Candidates should be based in the New York City area.

Telecommuting Available: This position will infrequently - perhaps once a month - require that the candidate meet in person in the New York City area, or possibly elsewhere to attend a client meeting. Other than that, it is possible to work almost entirely by telecommuting.

Temporary to Permanent Position Likely: We are initially offering this position for a minimum four month period part-time; however, we anticipate that the position will become a permanent part-time position.

15 - 25 Hours Per Week: We anticipate an hourly range of 15 - 25 hours per week will be typical.

Compensation: Competitive hourly rate, with possible "upside" based upon a share of success fees on engagements.

If you are interested in being considered for the position, please e-mail your resume as soon as possible to Deborah Epstein Henry at dehenry@flextimelawyers.com.
What follows below are the particulars.
