Investment Banking Analyst – Part Time/Remote

PegasusICS is an acclaimed middle-market investment bank based in Chicago. We are seeking to hire either an experienced investment banking analyst. We operate in an entrepreneurial environment and analysts are given as much responsibility as their experience and capabilities permit. We are open to both a full-time and a part-time person that operates remotely, either U.S. or non-U.S. domiciled.

PegasusICS offers its analysts the opportunity to gain extensive experience across multiple industries and transaction types including mergers & acquisitions, financings, and restructuring. Analysts will act as generalists, gaining extensive experience while working on a variety of client engagements. Part time/remote analysts are used to work on overflow and ad hoc projects. These analysts likely have another position which is not fully challenging to them, and they desire to improve their skill sets, increase their income via success fees as part of working in mergers and acquisitions. Analysts will be mentored one-on-one by senior bankers at the firm. Analysts work on small deal teams or one-on-one with mentors and may be afforded the opportunity to interface directly with senior-level client executives and bankers, and start developing the crucial soft skills required in deal making from early on in their careers. The investment banking analyst program is a highly competitive two to three year program and analysts who exceed our expectations may be invited to remain with the firm as an associate. With consistent superior performance, equity ownership is possible.

Due to the nature of our firm, an Analyst position at PegasusICS provides unparalleled exposure to senior professionals. The basic skills that our training program provides are continually developed by the experience of working with senior advisory professionals across a wide range of assignments.
