2027 Summer Analyst - PJT Camberview (Activism)

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. PJT Camberview brings together the world's leading experts from the investor community to help public companies understand, engage and succeed with their investors in complex and contested shareholder matters.

Upon completion of training, PJT Camberview Summer Analysts will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of client work, business development, and conduct research while being staffed on a number of assignments at once.

• Research, analyze and develop materials relating to activists, institutional investors, market and peer practices and recent governance and activism trends for use with clients
