Our client, a highly regarded boutique investment bank with a stellar reputation across European and transatlantic markets, is seeking exceptional Managing Directors to join their London office across multiple sector coverage groups.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership role within a firm that prides itself on the quality of its advice, the calibre of its people, and its entrepreneurial, partner-led culture. Unlike the larger institutions, our client offers genuine proximity to decision-makers, meaningful deal flow, and a platform that rewards originality and commercial instinct.

The Role:

As a Managing Director, you will be responsible for originating and executing M&​A, capital raising, and strategic advisory mandates within your sector specialism. You will act as a trusted adviser to C-suite executives, founders, and private equity sponsors, managing complex transactions from inception through to completion.

Key responsibilities include originating new client relationships and developing existing ones, leading and executing live transactions across M&​A, fundraising, and restructuring, mentoring and developing junior talent across the team, and contributing to the wider strategic direction of the firm.

Sectors of Interest:

Our client is actively hiring across several coverage areas, including but not limited to Technology, Media &​ Telecommunications, Healthcare &​ Life Sciences, Business Services, Financial Institutions, and Industrials &​ Infrastructure. Candidates with a demonstrable track record in other sectors will also be considered.

What Our Client Is Looking For:

The ideal candidate will bring a proven track record of origination and execution at Managing Director or Director level within an investment bank or advisory boutique.

A deep and well-maintained network of corporate and sponsor relationships within your sector is essential, as is experience leading complex, cross-border transactions. Strong commercial acumen and a genuinely entrepreneurial mindset are expected, alongside the ability to inspire, develop, and lead high-performing teams.

What's on Offer:

Our client offers a highly attractive compensation structure comprising a competitive base salary, performance-driven bonus, and the potential for equity participation or carried interest. You would be joining a collaborative, low-politics environment where senior professionals are given genuine autonomy.
