About the Role

Join an AI-powered investment banking team as a founding M&A dealmaker. You will lead live transactions while working with engineers to turn manual deal execution into scalable software workflows.

What You'll Do

Lead M&A transactions from mandate through closing, including client advice, process management, buyer negotiations, and execution details.

Work with engineers to identify repeatable deal tasks, define automation requirements, and validate new workflows on live transactions.

Build client relationships, advise clients, and take on more deals as software supports execution.

Help hire and build the initial deal execution team.

What We're Looking For

One to four years of experience, with M&A execution experience as an Analyst or Associate at a leading investment bank or advisory firm.

Typically, one to two years in banking followed by meaningful experience at a high-growth startup, growth equity or venture capital firm, or small to midsize private equity fund.

Ownership of live M&A transactions, including process management, client advisory, negotiation, and execution.

Strong commercial judgment and client-facing skills, with the ability to earn trust and manage relationships independently.

Ability to translate recurring manual work into clear software requirements and assess whether the resulting tools work in practice.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation is described as exceeding current earnings and includes significant equity. No specific salary range or visa sponsorship policy was provided.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, California. New York is also listed as a work location.
