Sector Coverage: Maintain a deep understanding of the technology landscape (SaaS, FinTech, Internet, and AI) to identify emerging trends and potential transaction opportunities.
Relationship Management: Support senior Managing Directors in business development efforts and increasingly take a lead role in maintaining client dialogues.
Required Qualifications
Experience: 6+ years of investment banking experience, with at least 1–2 years at the Vice President level. A proven track record of closed M&A transactions in the technology sector is essential.
Technical Excellence: Expert-level proficiency in financial modeling and valuation. Ability to translate complex financial data into a compelling strategic narrative.
Education: MBA from a top-tier business school or an equivalent level of professional experience/CFA designation.
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the "executive presence" required to advise sophisticated clients.

What We Offer
Opportunity to work on "headline-making" transactions at the intersection of tech and media.
A lean team structure that provides significant visibility and responsibility.
Competitive compensation package and a clear path toward senior coverage roles.
