About the Role
Join an AI-focused financial services startup building software to support investment banking workflows. You will lead M&A transactions while working with engineers to turn deal execution into scalable, automated processes.
What You'll Do
-
Own M&A deals from mandate through close, including process management, client advice, negotiation, and execution details.
-
Work with engineers to identify repeatable manual tasks, define software workflows, and test them on live transactions.
-
Build and lead the initial deal execution team as the business grows.
-
Develop client relationships and take on more advisory work as software automates parts of execution.
What We're Looking For
-
One to four years of experience, with M&A execution experience at the analyst or associate level in investment banking or an advisory firm.
-
Meaningful experience at a high-growth startup, growth equity or venture capital firm, or small to mid-market private equity fund is also relevant.
-
Hands-on ownership of live M&A transactions, including client advisory, negotiation, process management, and deal execution.
-
Ability to translate recurring execution challenges into clear engineering requirements and assess whether software solves them.
-
Commercial judgment, client-facing experience, and readiness to build a team and manage relationships independently.
