Job description
What is the position? Evercore seeks to hire an experienced Associate for its LP secondaries team in London.
Group Description: Evercore’s Private Capital Advisory (“PCA”) team is the global leader in secondary market advisory. The team advises financial sponsors (“GPs”) on a broad range of portfolio and fund management objectives, limited partners (“LPs”) on generating liquidity from their private markets fund and co-investment portfolios, and both parties on structured transactions, including collateralised fund obligations (“CFOs”).
Evercore PCA is a market leader in LP secondaries, a market that has delivered double-digit growth for the past two decades. This dominant position in a growing market enables successful team members to progress rapidly within private equity and to assume greater responsibility earlier than in traditional investment banking roles.

Specific Qualifications: Above all, PCA is looking for humble, hungry, and smart individuals. The team’s culture is entrepreneurial: effort, initiative, and a willingness to solve problems independently and to learn on the job are extremely high valued.
Minimum of 2-3 years previous experience in a related field required (secondaries advisory / buyside experience working at an LP, IR function at a GP or fundraising)
Strong command of the PE Fund landscape and understanding of how a PE Fund works
A degree in a quantitative discipline such as finance, economics or accounting, preferred
Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to articulate ideas precisely
Superior analytical and reasoning skills
Advanced proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint and AI tools such as ChatGPT
Capacity for sustained hard work in support of the team, often under tight deadlines
