The Oil & Gas and Energy Transition team has a broad mandate within PJT engaging with clients across the Oil & Gas sector and New Energies universe (including Hydrogen, Energy Tech, Energy Services, CCS, Biofuels and EV charging) and is seeking a Vice President with strong analytical and communication skills, who takes initiative, has great attention to detail, works well under pressure, and has the ability to perform both independently and within a team environment.

Vice Presidents within the Advisory group work directly with companies in evaluating, structuring and recommending financial and strategic alternatives, and helping companies solve complex issues on a global basis. The role envisages working on a wide variety of transactions including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, asset sales, restructurings and divestitures. The successful candidate will be staffed directly on client teams and will be involved in all aspects of a transaction, including due diligence, valuation analysis, and the negotiating of contracts and other agreements. The comparatively small size of this group offers professionals the unique opportunity to gain client exposure and work closely with senior members of the team, many of whom were previously group heads at leading investment banking firms.
