Corporate Banking, Associate - Aerospace & Defense

If you are looking for a role where you watch from the sidelines, this is not it.

• Drive client pitches across cash management, trading, FX, loans, debt capital markets, share repurchase, and interest rate and equity derivatives
• Evaluate public filings, research reports, business plans, and financial forecasts to produce sharp strategic and financial analyses
• Monitor industry trends, competitive dynamics, and market best practices to keep clients and the team ahead of the curve
• Coordinate and lead credit and capital committee processes from initiation to approval

Qualifications:

• 4–6 years of experience in corporate banking, investment banking, or a related field
• Strong credit, corporate finance, accounting and capital markets knowledge
• The ability to communicate clearly and persuasively, in writing and in person, with audiences at every level
