PJT Camberview Description

PJT Camberview is a leading provider of investor-led advice to public companies on engagement and shareholder relations, activism and contested situations, sustainability, and complex corporate governance matters. We bring together leading experts from the investor community to help public companies understand, engage, and succeed with their investors in complex and contested shareholder matters.

Program Description

Upon completion of training, PJT Camberview Summer Analysts will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of client work, business development, and research while being staffed on a number of assignments at once. Due to the relatively small size of the advisory team, a Summer Analyst will assume an integral role on client teams, often working directly with senior-level team members.

The Summer Analyst will play a vital role in supporting all aspects of PJT Partners’ shareholder advisory business, with a focus on the Activism business vertical.

Responsibilities

• Work within assigned client teams to support all aspects of client mandates, demonstrating comprehensive understanding of each assigned client, including their business and governance structure and profile.
• Support identification and analysis of potential vulnerabilities that could inform an activist’s thesis, including strategic, financial, operational, board, governance, compensation, and ESG arguments; assist in developing a plan for successfully advising companies on these issues.
• Assist in executing campaign strategy, including comprehensive shareholder engagement and messaging strategy to achieve success for the client.
• Research, analyze, and develop materials relating to activists, institutional investors, market and peer practices, and recent governance and activism trends for use with clients.
• Help prepare senior team members for client meetings, including engagements with company leadership and board members.
• Contribute to the firm’s intellectual leadership by supporting the development of research materials with broad applicability.
• Evaluate key trends and notable updates in the activism landscape, recent campaigns, and the impact of relevant regulatory changes and market conditions.
