Group Overview:

Cantor Fitzgerald's Energy group in Houston advises clients across the upstream, midstream, downstream, and oilfield services verticals on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and strategic alternatives and is seeking a highly motivated investment banking analyst to join the team. The Houston team sits within Cantor's broader Power, Energy and Infrastructure (PEI) franchise based in New York and London, giving analysts exposure to a global client base.

The Houston office operates as a lean, deal-focused team. Analysts work directly with senior bankers from the first client conversation through closing and are given meaningful responsibility earlier than is typical at larger institutions.
