Investment Banking Analyst (Summer 2027 Start)

Investment Banking Analyst Fireclay Partners is building a technology-native investment bank. Analysts are core members of deal teams and are expected to master the fundamentals of M&A while helping design a better way to do the work. You will use AI, programming, automation, structured data, and proprietary technology alongside sound financial judgment.

What You Will Do

Build financial models, valuations, buyer screens, market analyses, and transaction materials for live and prospective engagements. Support the preparation of pitches, information memoranda, management presentations, and data rooms. Conduct rigorous company, industry, and competitive research and synthesize findings clearly.

Coordinate transaction workstreams with senior bankers, clients, buyers, investors, and advisers. Identify recurring problems and build technology-enabled solutions using AI, code, automation, APIs, or structured data. Create work that is accurate, auditable, reusable, and valuable to future teams. Who Thrives Here Exceptional academic performance in finance, accounting, economics, computer science, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, data science, or a related field.

Strong accounting, valuation, Excel, PowerPoint, writing, and communication skills. Genuine interest in investment banking and in using technology to improve research, analysis, and execution. A builder mentality and clear evidence that you have built, automated, or programmed something useful. Examples may include scripts, applications, models, data pipelines, research tools, or workflow automations.

Familiarity with Python, SQL, APIs, or modern AI tools is strongly preferred; depth in every tool is not required. High standards, intellectual honesty, discretion, and the judgment to verify sources, calculations, assumptions, and AI-assisted work. This is an opportunity for someone who wants elite transaction training and also wants to help shape the operating model of the next generation of investment banking.
