Senior Associate Debt & Capital Advisory

Job Description & Summary

Senior Associate, Debt & Capital Advisory (Leveraged Finance & Corporate Finance)

Debt financing is a very significant part of the global economy and a critical source of funding for companies and investors alike. Achieving the optimal debt structure can play a major part in the success of an M&A transaction or the continued growth of a business.

The team advises domestic and international private equity and corporate clients on leveraged buyouts, raising growth capital, refinancing, and identifying complex capital structuring options. The DCA team in the Netherlands is based out of Amsterdam and covers primarily the Benelux region.

DCA consists of approximately 100 professionals across 20 countries and works closely with other Deals practices (Mergers & Acquisitions, Transaction Services, Tax, Capital Markets Accounting, Legal) in the Netherlands and internationally.

Senior Associate, Debt & Capital Advisory

As a DCA Senior Associate, you will play an important role in executing challenging and complex financing deals for our Private Equity and Corporate client groups. You will be working in small but highly experienced deal teams, and will be actively involved on a daily basis in: 

• Research on and analysis of complex sectors, businesses and investment opportunities.
• Extensive financial modelling.
• Compiling information materials for potential investors in debt instruments (senior debt, mezzanine debt, unitranche loans, asset finance, etc). 
• Proposing optimal solutions by leveraging on your experience and based on your knowledge of credit and the market.
• Negotiating commercial terms related to debt structuring within a term sheet.
• Understanding the impact of macroeconomic trends on the client, and reflecting these in scenario analysis and advice.
• Mentoring your fellow Associates and Trainees.

You will have the opportunity to be involved in numerous and sophisticated transactions. Each new transaction brings a set of unique challenges from which you will learn and continue developing as you grow within the team. Within PwC, you will be encouraged to participate in (international) firm-wide projects and make an impact on subjects which matter to you.

Who are you?

• You have 2-5 years of relevant internship and professional work experience in banking, corporate finance, investment management, or disciplines directly related to these areas.
• You have a Master’s degree in Finance, Business Administration, Economics or Econometrics with higher than average grades. If you have a degree in another discipline but can demonstrate strong grades and a solid foundation in (and affinity for) finance, you are certainly welcome to apply.
• You like working in a fast-paced, transaction-driven environment.
• You have sound analytical abilities, an excellent understanding of financial statements, and a strong working knowledge of Powerpoint and financial modelling in Excel.
• You have a good command of Dutch and English (both verbal and written), and can communicate comfortably with peers, senior staff and clients.
• You have a strong work ethic, organisational skills and ability to multitask.
• You have an accurate eye for detail and perform well under time pressure.
• You are proactive, you like to contribute ideas and implement them.
• You like being part of a dynamic team that works directly with clients, and you enjoy building relationships.

What are we offering?

A job with PwC means working with a wide variety of clients and inspiring colleagues. It also comes with a competitive employee benefits package that gives you ample room to grow, work and live flexibly.

• We offer a varied job in an international, challenging and professional environment.
• You will have immediate exposure to top-calibre clients and high-profile transactions.
• You will have access to many different training courses and programs.
• You will have a steep learning curve, whilst taking on more responsibilities and start leading on transactions as you progress your career.
• You will be part of an international advisory organisation.
• You will have an outstanding package of employee and fringe benefits, including a partly non-contributory pension, a lease car, and 32 days of holiday leave a year.

Who are we?

PwC employs about 5,000 professionals in the Netherlands who work together closely across twelve offices. We offer ample opportunity, both in your profession and personally, to get the most out of yourself and your career.
