LB CAPITAL

Associate and Analyst opportunities – requirements

The ideal candidate will come from a major investment bank or consultancy and have a strong entrepreneurial spirit. He / she will have at least 1.5 years of experience and no more than 4 with Oil & Gas, Natural Resources, Power or generalist M&A pool.

Excellent technical skills are essential, as is the ability to work in a client facing role. Although the majority of the firm’s mandates are in Emerging Markets, deals are Energy Sector related; hence, specific language skills are not required, and only London based applicants will be considered.

Additional Analyst opportunities exist for recent graduates interested in our specialist M&A practice. We particularly welcome applications from those with petroleum engineering degrees and newly qualified ACA/MBA/law qualification levels. Applicants with no prior experience in Oil & Gas and / or M&A must possess an excellent academic record, with strong numerical skills, and must be able to demonstrate a keen interest in corporate finance. Experience of financial modelling is advantageous.

To apply please send a copy of your CV in English and as a word document, along with your salary expectations
to careers@lb-capital.com.

Interviews

The purpose of the first interview is to help us get to know you and determine your suitability for a particular area of our business, and for you to ask questions about us. Your second round interview will be more technical in nature, and we will continue to assess your compatibility with the firm.

Preparation

Our recruitment process is built upon our belief that a candidate’s fit with our entrepreneurial culture is as important as the skills and the experience she or he brings to the firm. Your objectives should be to gain insight into our culture and clarify why you want to work at LB Capital, what you might want to do at the firm and why you would be well suited to do it.

LB Capital Experience

We are a close knit collegial team that strives to provide every team member with the opportunity to maximise its potential. The advantages of working at LB Capital relative to bulge bracket investment banks are twofold:
1) our ability to provide a greater degree of client facing time to all team members including Analysts, and
2) our readiness to sustain entirely performance-measured rewards and career progression.
As a result, our team composition is stable, a typical career path is visible and the LB Capital work experience compares favourably relative to bulge bracket banks and boutiques alike.
