Firm Profile:

PJT Partners is a global independent financial advisory firm. We deliver a wide array of strategic advisory, restructuring and reorganization, and funds advisory services to corporations, financial sponsors, institutional investors and governments around the world.

The foundation of our success is the creativity, insightfulness and clarity of our advice. We hire top quality practitioners with expertise and relationships in the industries, products and geographies needed to inspire and sustain trusted relations with our clients.

As professionals, we share a culture of consistency demonstrating an active, hands-on, high-touch approach to service clients. As members of the PJT Partners team, we prioritize our client’s interests, provide superior client service, protect client confidentiality and avoid conflicts of interest.

PJT Partners was formed through the combination of Blackstone’s advisory businesses (which were recently spun off) and the independent financial advisory firm founded by Paul J. Taubman, the former Head of Global Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley. We offer the excitement of a vibrant, new company with the reputation and learning experiences of an established, industry-leading firm.

Park Hill Group provides fund placement services for alternative investment managers, including private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate funds, and venture capital funds. Since its inception in 2005, Park Hill has served as a placement agent to more than 100 funds that have raised more than $239 billion for a diverse range of investment strategies.

Job Description:

Park Hill is seeking individuals with strong analytical and writing skills, who take initiative, have great attention to detail, work well under pressure, and have the ability to work well both independently and within teams.

Park Hill’s private equity group in London offers the Director the chance to engage directly in advising “best in breed” private equity funds on all aspects of the capital fund raise – including corporate finance/advisory work, market positioning and ultimately raising capital from the top institutional investors across the globe.

Candidates for the position must possess knowledge of and interest in the alternative asset industry – specifically private equity – as well as extensive experience in finance. Ideal candidates have a background in investment banking or similar fields. The job requires management of multiple projects often under time constraints/deadlines, interaction and constant communication with clients and the global Park Hill Distribution team, and great attention to detail.

Responsibilities:

All project management/corporate finance functions for the Private Equity team are based out of Park Hill’s London office. Each fundraising mandate is typically run by a two-person deal team – a project manager and a junior banker, with oversight and relationship management by a Partner.

Director serves as the point person on a variety of Park Hill mandates in overseeing the capital raise from start to finish. The Director along with a Partner is the primary liaison between Park Hill’s private equity clients and the global Park Hill Distribution team. The candidate will be responsible for all aspects of the fund raise from building the online data room, working directly with clients in drafting offering memorandums and marketing materials, driving the book building process (coordinating all roadshow scheduling and logistics), and preparing for all due diligence meetings and supporting with legal, investor allocations and final closes.

The candidate will also be given an opportunity to play an important role in all aspects of the origination effort – including sourcing and performing intensive due diligence on a variety of private equity funds and strategies.
