Role Overview

Initio Sphere is onboarding Capital Markets Advisors to provide strategic, operational, and capital-markets guidance to fund managers, investors, and deal sponsors.

This is not a traditional employment role. Capital Markets Advisors operate as independent contractors, activated through a verification and approval process.

Once approved, Capital Markets Advisors:

• Fund formation, capital raising, and LP communications

• Deal structuring, investment committee preparation, and transaction strategy
