• Contribute daily items to the Morning Flash
• Develop and maintain market contacts via existing network and attending industry events

• Ability to string together data points to find actionable and relevant opportunities in an evolving universe of special situations and announced transactions

• Solid understanding of corporate finance, governance and/or antitrust.

• Early riser with the ability to write in a clear and engaging manner
