Analysts/Associates

Our Asia-Pacific region from time to time recruits high caliber undergraduate, postgraduate or MBA graduates for Analyst or from time to time Associate positions. Lazard offices in the Asia-Pacific region which accept resumes from graduates are: Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul and Tokyo.

Analysts and Associates will become integral members of our Financial Advisory practice by joining small transaction teams that provide financial advisory services to the firm's clients. Extensive exposure to the varied regulatory, financial and business practices in the different Asian countries can be expected.

Day-to-day responsibilities of an Analyst include financial analysis and modeling, company and industry research, participating in the development of client presentations and interacting with senior bankers and clients.

Joining as an Associate, you will work at a higher level on deal teams, and a greater contribution in relation to the technical and client work on transactions will be expected. Such duties would include complex financial analysis and modeling, the creation and preparation of client presentations, management of transaction execution and interaction with clients.

Qualified candidates should be top academic performers who are willing to work hard in an unstructured environment where initiative, maturity, poise and enthusiasm for learning are highly valued. Strong oral and written communication skills are essential. Academic backgrounds for Analyst positions may vary so long as candidates are comfortable with financial concepts and enjoy quantitative work. For Associate positions, candidates should have a strong quantitative background. Previous investment banking experience is looked upon favorably. A long-term commitment to Asia, as wells as knowledge of its local cultures and languages, is preferred. A very strong command of the Japanese language will be necessary for positions in Tokyo. Extensive travel throughout the Asia-Pacific region will be required.

Training and Development

Training and development is important and, depending on your academic background and work experience, training will be designed to ensure you are given the skills required for the job at the earliest opportunity. This may involve classroom-based training with American or European colleagues or on-the-job training with more senior team members.
