Leveraged Finance Associate (3–5 PQE) – Elite US Platform | Pure Sponsor Work
London | Total Compensation c. £220,000–£320,000

I’m working with an entrepreneurial, growing US practice in London on a rare opportunity for a 3–5 PQE Leveraged Finance associate. This role offers pure sponsor-side work for top-tier private equity clients, including leading names such as KKR and Bain Capital, alongside other major global funds.

Unlike the larger elite US teams, this group is small, highly collegiate and free of internal politics, while still operating at the very top of the market. You’ll work directly with an ex–Magic Circle partner on complex, multi-jurisdictional financings with significant visibility, influence and progression potential.

Ideal profile:
• 3–5 PQE London Leveraged Finance specialist
• Magic Circle or top-tier international training
• In-house candidates welcome if trained at a leading firm
• Someone who values high-end sponsor mandates within a genuinely supportive, entrepreneurial culture

If you’re exploring the market, even tentatively, please feel free to reach out. We specialise in sponsor-side lev fin recruitment and can help you navigate a busy and competitive landscape with discretion.

All conversations strictly confidential.

Bruin recognises the positive value of diversity, and aims to promote equality and challenge unfair discrimination. As a champion of equal opportunity employment we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons – men and women, people of all ages, sexual orientations, nationalities, religions and beliefs. We particularly encourage applications from women, disabled, and Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates as these groups are underrepresented throughout the financial services industry. Our clients work with us because they value a diverse workforce, and subscribe to our shared principle that all appointments are made on merit and that ability to perform the job will be the primary consideration.

Apply now and a member of the team at Bruin will get in touch with you to discuss your career options further.
