The Associate will work with senior bankers across a variety of different transaction types and advisory assignments : mergers & acquisitions (both buyside and sell-side), public equity offerings, debt capital markets issuances, and capital advisory projects. As one of the fastest growing and most dynamic groups within Scotiabank, the Associate can expect to have numerous opportunities to demonstrate growth, intellect, and initiative. With an increasing roster of highly experienced senior bankers, the Global Technology Investment Banking Group continues to innovate and drive additional topline revenue and net income for Scotiabank. If you are interested in a fast-paced, challenging, and exciting environment, the Technology Banking team welcomes the opportunity to connect with you.

Associates in the Global Technology Investment Banking Group enjoy a stimulating and challenging work environment in which they execute a broad range of transactions. A high degree of responsibility is afforded to those demonstrating initiative and the desire to take on such responsibility.

At the early stages of their career, Associates focus on client presentations, financial modeling, industry and company research, and supervising and mentoring analysts. As the individual's career progresses, Associates take on increased responsibilities on live transactions and participate in business development under the guidance of senior group members. Scotiabank brings new Associates in contact with both clients and Scotiabank GBM product partners at the earliest possible stage, allowing them to gain experience in managing and cultivating relationships.

A significant amount of effort, diligence, and initiative is required to properly execute assignments. The complexity of clients' financial requirements combined with the highly competitive nature of the investment banking industry necessitates a full commitment to the task at hand. Standards are very high as most work is presented to senior executives at client firms.

Given the Global Technology Investment Banking Group's streamlined operating hierarchy and a small project team approach, Associates have ample opportunity for career growth and development. On any given project, Associates will interact with other departments of the firm such as Corporate Banking, Equity Capital Markets, Debt Capital Markets, Global Fixed Income, and Global Equity Derivatives.
