Coverage Banker

This role serves as a coverage banker for listed companies in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The work involves proposing equity financing, including new share issues and share offerings; debt financing, including bond and convertible bond issuance; M&A, including acquisitions, business sales, business integrations and MBOs; activist response; and IR activities for individual investors and overseas institutional investors.

The banker develops hypotheses that may contribute to a client’s enterprise value, discusses them with clients and internal stakeholders, turns them into proposals, presents them to client decision-makers, and connects the proposals to winning engagements. The role then acts as a control tower through execution and realization of the transaction or initiative.

Required qualifications include experience in client-facing business and communication skills, with corporate business experience welcomed. Experience at a consulting firm, M&A advisory firm, trading company, bank or securities company is particularly welcomed. Candidates should value teamwork and be able to coordinate with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

Basic PC skills are required, including the ability to prepare materials using Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Experience in capital markets or M&A advisory work, practical experience responding to activist investors, securities analyst qualifications and business-level English are additional qualifications.

The position is full-time and based at the Marunouchi office in Chiyoda, Tokyo. The scope of duties and work location may change to locations designated by the company, including telework locations.
