Associates

Printable

Associates at Harris Williams & Co. play an integral role in every M&A assignment and are expected to be active contributors during every phase of the deal process. The Associate role involves a high level of responsibility and the opportunity to learn from senior bankers and through hands-on experience. Our Associates lead the writing and development of presentation materials and actively participate in drafting sessions and due diligence meetings. Associates are also responsible for the integrity of the valuation analyses and financial models developed in concert with our Analysts. Because our firm is devoted exclusively to middle market merger and acquisitions, each new professional is provided with a range of experiences across industries and with a variety of teams across the firm.

In addition to contributing to each transaction, we encourage our Associates to actively participate in our business development efforts by fostering relationships with private equity groups and active corporate players in the M&A community. Our goal is to develop tomorrow’s industry leaders.

Given our longstanding philosophy of promoting from within, we dedicate a great deal of effort to hire individuals who have a proven track record of performance excellence both in and out of the classroom. For entry-level positions, an M.B.A. from a recognized institution is required. Prior investment banking experience, especially in M&A or leveraged lending, is desirable. Lateral candidates must have two to four years experience in Mergers and Acquisitions or Leveraged Lending and an M.B.A. is preferred. All candidates must have permanent authorization to work in the U.S. Strong writing and presentation skills are a must. Client and project management skills, including the ability to establish and build relationships and to proactively drive projects forward, are also required.
