2025 Summer Analyst - Strategic Advisory (Capital Markets)

Program Description:

Our Capital Markets Advisory Group provides equity and debt advisory services to a wide variety of clients, from multinational, public corporations to privately held companies either sponsor-backed or founder-owned. The Capital Markets Advisory Group works in partnership with PJT Partners’ Strategic Advisory, Park Hill, Restructuring and Camberview teams. Our 10-week internship begins with an accelerated training program, which is supplemented with additional training modules throughout the remainder of the internship program. 

Upon completion of training, Summer Analysts will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of pitches and live transactions while being staffed on a number of assignments at once. Due to the relatively small size of the professional staff, a Summer Analyst will assume an integral role on his or her deal teams, often working directly with senior level bankers.  The internship program will provide Summer Analysts with ongoing formal and informal training, in addition to high-touch mentorship across all levels.
