Equity Structuring (EQS)

The Equity Structuring group ("EQS") sits within Private Wealth Management ("PWM") and delivers tailored equity-based solutions to global wealth management and cross-divisional clients through customized structuring and execution services. EQS provides clients with single stock hedging and monetization expertise, as well as thematic investment opportunities across a variety of implementation vehicles such as public equity, listed options, structured notes, and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives on both an agency and principal basis.

The Single Stock Structuring team sits within the Equity Structuring group. The team works with clients who have concentrated single stock positions to deliver bespoke solutions. Solutions are developed in partnership with the client's team of internal and external advisors in order to fully consider the client's investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax sensitivity, estate planning, time horizon and available market opportunities. Clients include founders, family offices, public company officers and directors, multi-generational shareholders, and other investors. The team helps clients solidify objectives and navigate complex processes by delivering tailored and dynamic solutions that incorporate insights from the client's broader team and subject matter experts from across Goldman Sachs' divisions. These discussions often occur before and after important corporate events, such as IPOs and M&A events, and culminate in selling strategies including Rule 10b5-1 Selling Plans, Block Trades and other High-Touch Agency Sales. As part of these transactions, the team conducts due diligence on restrictions the client faces and works with company counsel to pre-clear transactions. As part of the Firm's OneGS strategy, the team works directly with various institutional trading desks in Global Banking and Markets to execute many of these strategies for clients.

You will work as part of the global team to market and structure capital markets transactions for clients who are Founders, C-Suite Executives or Large Shareholders of public companies.  Your primary role will be drafting 10b5-1 plans, the most common mechanism through which these clients sell stock.  As part of that effort, you will partner closely with private wealth advisors, company counsel and clients' tax and other advisors.  You will work on 10b5-1 plans during all phases of the lifecycle, including: researching client holdings and restrictions, marketing our offering, client education, plan structuring and drafting, plan management (including SEC Rule 144 filings) and ongoing client dialogue.  Additional responsibilities include marketing solutions by creating presentation materials, working on projects related to client prospecting and market trends, and partnering with engineering colleagues to build tools that enhance our platform and these workflows, including leveraging the Firm's AI tools to enhance scale and efficiency.
