Advisory-focused investment bank for M&A, restructuring, and capital raising
PJT Partners is a public advisory-focused investment bank founded in 2015, operating across M&A, restructuring, and capital markets. The tech stack reveals a finance-first operational footprint: Workday anchors HR and payroll, Anaplan handles planning, and a growing Azure data platform (Data Factory, Databricks, Data Lake, SQL, Cosmos DB) is being layered in alongside ServiceNow adoption—signaling investment in enterprise automation and analytics infrastructure. The hiring profile is heavily weighted toward finance and mid-level roles, consistent with a transaction-driven advisory model.
PJT Partners advises Fortune 500 and mid-market companies on mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and capital deployment. The firm has built a global footprint across eight countries, with active projects spanning deal origination, restructuring execution, asset sales, and joint venture formation. Operationally, the company is scaling finance and compliance functions while modernizing backend systems—Workday oversees HR and compensation, while new Azure infrastructure projects suggest a push toward data-driven transaction analytics and reporting standardization. Current challenges include managing complexity in distressed situations, improving compensation efficiency, and expanding the limited partner relationships that fund restructuring and investment vehicles.
