Job ID: 2624

Would you like to be part of the leading Leveraged Finance franchise in the Nordics working with local and international private equity funds on leveraged buyouts and other financing transactions? We are currently looking for an ambitious Analyst to join the team.

About our team

Nordea’s Leveraged Finance team of approx. 50 professionals across the Nordics are at the forefront of delivering first-class debt services and financing solutions to local and international private equity funds. Such solutions and services include leveraged buyouts, acquisition financings, debt capital markets transactions, refinancings, dividend recapitalisations and restructurings. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach, deep industry knowledge and commitment to excellence – as also recognised by Nordea’s consistent ranking at the top of industry league tables and customer satisfaction surveys.

Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in how we work and how we make decisions – and that we imagine you share with us.

What you’ll be doing

As the Analyst in Leveraged Finance, you will become an integral part of the team, working in a pan-Nordic setup to support and manage all parts of the private equity financing value chain, including pitching, deal structuring, arranging, execution and distribution of financial instruments. You will work closely with our local and international private equity clients and with internal stakeholders from e.g. Corporate Finance, High Yield & Loan Syndicate, Debt Capital Markets, Sustainable Finance Advisory and Credit, Rating & ESG Analysis.

Main responsibilities in this role:

• Perform industry- and company-specific analysis, including review and assessment of due diligence material and financial modelling
• Prepare presentation materials, including investment memoranda, management presentations and pitch books
• Assist with origination of new transaction opportunities as well as servicing of existing client relationships and financings
• Support the preparation of recommendations related to new and existing private equity financing transactions 
• Remain updated on market and product developments, and demonstrate understanding of clients’ commercial and financial considerations to optimally support clients with value-accretive advisory and solutions

The role is based in Copenhagen and you will be part of our pan-Nordic team of highly skilled professionals who always walk the extra mile to provide our clients with best possible advice and service.

Who you are

This is the right role for you if you are:

• A team player with strong interpersonal skills committed to empowering others
• Capable of exercising good judgement in pressurised situations whilst maintaining a solution-driven mindset, high integrity and meticulous attention to detail
• A self-starter with positive ‘can-do attitude’ with the ability to manage multiple tasks
• Passionate about learning new things and appreciates an ever-changing work environment, striving to deliver results that surpass expectations

Your background and skills include:

• Solid academic record in a relevant field
• First-rate communication skills in English and Danish (or another Scandinavian language)
• Strong numerical and financial modelling abilities 
• Analytical capacity and ability to digest and assess large amounts of information and concisely summarise takeaways

You have likely recently completed your studies or are in the final year of your Master’s studies in Finance, Economics or another relevant field, and have a few years of relevant working experience from internships, student positions, and/or junior roles. However, we always welcome applicants possessing strong academic skills with other Master’s degrees, alternative backgrounds and/or with experience from similar roles.

What we offer

People come here when they want to get somewhere. For some, it’s to take their career to the next level. For others, it’s to break new ground within their area of expertise – in other words, with us, you will always move forward.

A culture that fosters performance and growth in one of the largest Nordic banks, offering various opportunities to evolve, develop and learn from brilliant colleagues with diverse backgrounds in a vibrant working environment.

Hybrid working model – we believe in the value of bringing people together and at the same time we embrace the freedom of flexibility.

Diversity and inclusion are a natural part of our daily work. We know that an inclusive workplace is a sustainable one. We genuinely believe that our diverse backgrounds, experiences, characteristics and traits make us stronger together. Every day we strive to find new ways to improve diversity and inclusion within our community e.g. we have signed the European Diversity Charters in the countries where we operate to show our commitment and engage with others to continue learning and improving.
