This is more a generalist role that should span all sectors. The M&A execution team did selectively cover some sectors while HC, tech, ind, fig ran their own models but the role you are referring to is a shareholder activism and corp finance role. 

You'll mostly be doing relationship work with public companies and their boards in the hopes jeff will get on their mandates later on. Best comparable groups that go in depth on what they do are evercore(for the activism/shareholder side) and JPM corporate finance advisory(for the strategic side.)

I applied for the M&A Group and the description said that the supporting groups are shareholder activism and strategic finance. So this group is basically activism defense and shareholder advisory?

Below is the description. 

Jefferies is seeking a driven and intellectually curious Summer Analyst to join our growing M&A Advisory platform in New York, supporting both the Shareholder Engagement & Activism Advisory and Strategic Finance Groups. The scope of work will be multi-disciplinary, extending across M&A, capital markets and legal areas of expertise, and well as typical investment banking core competencies such as financial modeling and data analysis. This role offers a rare opportunity to work directly with senior leaders and subject matter experts on high-impact, board-level strategic and financial advisory engagements.
