Description
Chronus Capital, a New York-based boutique emerging markets investment bank is looking to hire a full-time analyst for its New York office. Candidates need to have a strong aptitude for qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as a strong interest in the emerging markets, particularly Russia and the former Soviet Union. Currently, the Chronus team is involved extensively in executing M&A and capital-raising transactions in Central Asia, a dynamic and fast-paced sub-region of the CIS. Analysts will be expected to support the senior team members by researching and analyzing macroeconomic and industry specific conditions and trends; performing and engaging in due diligence; and creating research reports, investment memorandums, and other presentation materials. Analysts will also be involved in all aspects of the business development process from assisting in the preparation of pitch books to win new business engagements to prescreening investors for specific investment opportunities. In addition, Analysts will be an integral part of all deal teams and will attend as many internal and client meetings as appropriate. The environment at Chronus Capital is collegial, entrepreneurial, and fast-paced with substantial responsibility and interaction with senior professionals afforded to Analysts early on.

About Us: Chronus Capital is a boutique emerging markets-focused investment bank based out of New York with a representative office in Moscow. Chronus provides corporate finance services primarily to mid-market firms based in the Former Soviet Union, across a broad sector range. We advise companies on: raising capital (debt, equity, and hybrid) on the public and private markets, locating strategic investors, finding acquisition targets, as well as provide pre-IPO advisory in the areas of reputation and brand management, implementation of sound corporative governance and compliance policies, conversion of internal accounting from local to IFRS/GAAP standards, among others. Our clients range from a UAE-based read-mix cement operator to a leading Russian glass manufacturer in Russia to a commercial property developer in Ukraine. Chronus Capital is a subsidiary of the Chronus Holding Group—an independent holding group focused on backing companies and ideas that it feels compellingly demonstrate a sustainable competitive advantage in its target markets. The Group has diverse interests across a wide-sector range from financial services to commodities and construction.

Qualification: Chronus is seeking a candidate who possesses fluency in Russian, both verbal and written (please note this is a categorical requirement), and also meets the profile outlined below. The candidate is an exceptionally motivated individual who is distinguished by his academic achievements, extracurricular activities and prior work experience. Analysts should have very strong financial modeling and company valuation skills. As well, they should possess strong quantitative, communication and interpersonal abilities, be highly detail oriented and have a relentless drive to succeed. We particularly seek individuals with superb writing, researching and presentation abilities. The ideal candidate should be comfortable with working in a highly entrepreneurial and independent environment with loosely structured teams. As well, the candidate should exhibit a passion for learning about the emerging markets. We very strongly prefer candidates with full-time work experience at a boutique or bulge-bracket investment bank or a similar finance capacity with a corporation (at least two years). We also encourage non-Finance, Economics, pre-Business who meet the above criteria to apply.
