What You Will Do

Lead M&A engagements from positioning and preparation through negotiation and closing. Own senior client communication, judgment-intensive decisions, and the quality of all major deliverables. Develop new relationships and convert market insight into differentiated advisory opportunities. Build and lead technology-native teams that use AI, automation, structured data, and proprietary technology responsibly.

Ensure that important sector, company, and transaction knowledge is captured, structured, and reusable rather than remaining trapped in individual inboxes or files.

Who Thrives Here Experienced investment-banking professionals with a strong record of execution, client leadership, and business development.

Excellent judgment, communication, negotiation, valuation, and process-management skills. A credible point of view on how technology is changing advisory work and a willingness to lead that change personally. Ability to evaluate and institutionalize technology-enabled workflows without sacrificing accuracy, confidentiality, or accountability.

A team-building mindset: you create standards, develop talent, and leave the institution more capable after every engagement. This role is for a senior banker who wants to deliver exceptional advice and help build the operating model of the next generation of investment banking.
