Job description

Capital Solutions Group

Goldman Sachs operates at the fulcrum of one of the most important structural trends in finance: the convergence of public and private markets.

Given underwriting requirements for many of the transactions, the group works closely with multiple areas of the firm including Classic Investment Banking, Credit, Capital Markets and Research.
