Investment Banking Associate

Our client is building AI-powered tools that let bankers spend less time on decks and models and more time closing deals - and they're looking for someone to help lead that shift.

You'll work directly with the founding team, who've closed more than $15 billion in M&A transactions at top investment banks. From day one, you're in every stage of the deal: due diligence, buyer strategy, negotiations, closing - not just support work. Top performers get to lead their own transactions and help shape the firm's next chapter, including the product itself.

• Work directly with business owners and sophisticated buyers
• Build your own network of strategic buyers and PE firms in your vertical
• Shape the technology transforming how these deals get done

• Deal experience with industrial businesses is ideal
• Sharp valuation and execution skills, comfort with messy data
• An entrepreneurial streak and excitement about AI's role in banking
• The role is Chicago-based and in office, candidates already based in the Chicago area will
