About the Role

HSBC's Capital Markets & Advisory (CMA) division partners with corporate and financial sponsor clients on high-impact financing and strategic decisions. CMA’s corporate finance advisory services deliver financing-led investment banking solutions across areas such as debt capital markets, leveraged and acquisition finance, convertible and hybrid securities, project and infrastructure finance, risk management, and structured finance. CMA supports clients through event-driven situations, including acquisition financing and other strategic transactions, where HSBC can provide differentiated financing outcomes.

You’ll work across and gain exposure to all sectors, partnering closely with sector and product specialists across CMA.
