FinTech Strategy and Business Development First Year Analyst

Full job description

A first-year analyst position at FT Partners, the investment bank that works solely on fintech, based in its London office with three days a week in the office; the advert was posted on 11 September 2026. The analyst supports high-priority banking initiatives and publishes industry research, covering M&A, private capital raising and business development strategy. Duties include due diligence and valuation work (DCFs, public comparables, precedent deals), speaking with founders, investors and finance executives, mining the firm's proprietary database for trends, writing research on major transactions, and building sell-side pitches. The advert asks for 2026 undergraduates only, any degree (finance, economics or accounting an advantage), a UK-equivalent GPA of 3.30 or above, and strong writing, research and data skills. It states that UK work authorisation is required and that FT Partners does not sponsor work visas now or in future. No closing date or salary is given, and the location wording in the advert also refers to New York, which looks inconsistent with the London office listing.
