Careers · Build at a Century-Old Firm
Join Sterling Cooper
We build institutions meant to last. If you think in leverage and asymmetric outcomes, and you want consequential work alongside principals with decades of transaction experience, we should talk.
Who Thrives Here
What We Look For
Judgment Under Pressure
The temperament to make good decisions quickly when the stakes are high and the information is incomplete.
Ownership
People who treat a mandate like their own capital is on the line, because the client’s is.
Rigor
A bias toward analysis that withstands scrutiny, and the honesty to say when the evidence says no.
Range
Comfort across acquisitions, advisory, marketing, and digital infrastructure. The firm works across all of it.
Discretion
The discipline to handle sensitive, confidential information the way it must be handled.
Drive
The ambition to build something durable, not just to hold a seat.
Areas of Practice
Where You Might Build

Origination, valuation, diligence, and execution across buy-side and sell-side advisory.

Financing
Structuring and sourcing debt and equity through the firm’s relationships.
