The Communications and Media team is a leading practice across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and spans a range of sub-sectors including telecommunications, digital infrastructure (data centres, fibre, towers and satellite) and media (ranging from advertising and broadcasting to education, sports and gaming).

Responsibilities will include:

• Work closely with an exceptional team of senior and junior bankers in executing market-defining M&A advisory and capital markets transactions.
• Leverage your previous experience to enhance our M&A execution and capital raising capabilities.
• Take on a meaningful client-facing role, playing an important part in client discussions as part of both execution and marketing.
• Manage and mentor analysts by providing guidance and feedback, managing information flow, and having oversight of the analysts with whom you are working.

• Opportunity to execute transformative M&A and capital markets deals across a wide geographic spectrum and numerous sub-sectors within Communications.
• Benefit from extensive client interaction with direct responsibility for transaction execution.
• Opportunity to work in a dynamic environment, developing world-class skills in investment banking.

Requirements:

At Citi, we value diversity of both background and thinking, and we encourage applicants from all degree disciplines & work experiences to consider our opportunities. We provide world-class training to new joiners.

As well as strong technical skills, candidates should have:

• Ideally a university degree at either Bachelor or Masters level (including MBA).
• Experience in Investment Banking and/or Private Equity is required (TMT experience is preferred, but not a prerequisite).
• Technical experience including operational, financial, valuation and M&A analysis as well as relevant marketing materials for M&A and/or capital markets transactions.

Candidates applying for this role must be aware that it is a Certified Role, subject to the FCA and PRA Certification Regime.

The Certification Regime is one element of the Individual Accountability Regime which came into effect on 7 March 2016.

Under the Certification Regime, Citi UK regulated entities (Citi entities) must ensure that employees working in certain roles categorised as specified significant harm functions (Certified Roles) are assessed as fit and proper to carry out their role.

In order to comply with the requirements of the Certification Regime, Citi entities must take reasonable care to ensure that an employee does not perform a Certified Role without first being certified as Fit and Proper. For this reason, you will be assessed for this role against the Fit and Proper requirements, as described above.

This assessment will be carried out through extensive interviews, self-disclosures, permitted criminal record checks, regulated reference checks, credit checks and other background screening checks.
