What you'll need to succeed
- Experience in, knowledge of and a passion for Media sector (inc. Marketing Tech, Digital, Advertising and so on)
- Experience of working within corporate finance is not necessary, but experience in related disciplines would be prioritised

What you'll get in return
A unique opportunity to work in a 21st century M&A team and to prove yourself on origination and business development at a much earlier stage than is usual. This ensure a fast-track trajectory to your CF career.
