- Identify and evaluate prospective strategic and financial buyers or investors
- Manage buyer outreach, due diligence coordination, and transaction workflows
- Review and oversee financial modeling, valuation analyses, and related research
- Maintain strong, professional relationships with client management teams
- Contribute to new business development efforts and overall team growth
- Obtain FINRA Series 79 licensure if not already held
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field
- 5-6+ years of investment banking or active M&A transaction execution experience
- Strong understanding of middle-market M&A processes, deal structures, and transaction documentation
- Demonstrated leadership ability with a high degree of professionalism, integrity, and maturity
- Advanced financial statement analysis, modeling, and valuation skills
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to high-quality work product
- Excellent organizational and problem-solving capabilities
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and financial research platforms (e.g., Capital IQ)
- Authorization to work in the United States
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Play a leadership role in executing complex middle-market transactions
- Work in a collaborative, team-oriented culture with a strong emphasis on mentorship
- Access to formal training, professional development, and long-term career growth opportunities
- Exposure to a wide range of industries, deal situations, and client engagements
