  • Intellectually stimulating work within a collaborative and diverse environment.
  • Work life balance and a fully flexible working model in which you decide when you want to work in the office and when you want to work remotely.
  • Regular interaction with asset managers, hedge funds, law firms, investment banks, and others in the leveraged finance world.
