Wedbush Securities is one of the largest securities firms and investment banks in the nation. We provide innovative financial solutions through our Wealth Management, Capital Markets, Futures and Advanced Clearing & Prime Services divisions. Headquartered in Los Angeles, California with over 100 offices and more than 80 correspondent offices, our commitment to providing relentless, customized service is the foundation of our consistent growth.

Drive the Deals Defining the Future of Finance — With a Platform Built for Closers

At Wedbush Securities, we don't just follow trends — we invest in paradigm shifts. With over 70 years of leadership in financial markets and innovation, we are now focused on building the market-leading Investment Banking platform for crypto, blockchain, Web3, and digital asset infrastructure.

We are seeking a Managing Director who is already operating at the highest level — a proven investment banker with a ready-to-go pipeline, deep client and investor relationships, and a consistent record of closing high-value transactions.

If you’re ready to monetize your deal flow from day one, build a vertical with complete autonomy, and earn meaningful upside in a hypergrowth market — we want to talk.

This is Not a Learning Role — It is a Launchpad

We are only considering experienced, currently active investment bankers who are ready to transact from day one. This is an opportunity to own a vertical and build real equity — not a junior ramp-up or business development role.

This opportunity is open to candidates throughout the United States, who will report into either our New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Chicago offices.

This Role Offers:

• Immediate monetization of your deal pipeline — hit the ground running with real support
• Top-tier compensation and revenue share tied directly to your performance
• Full autonomy to build your Crypto & Blockchain IB practice within a respected national platform
• Dedicated execution resources and access to Wedbush’s full-service investment banking infrastructure
• Flexibility to work from any major financial hub, backed by a tech-forward, entrepreneurial culture
• Senior-level visibility and firmwide influence

Your Mission:
Build the #1 Crypto Investment Banking Franchise

You will:

• Originate, lead, and close M&A and private placement transactions across crypto infrastructure, tokenization, DeFi, fintech, Web3, and AI
• Provide strategic advisory to high-growth clients — from early-stage disruptors to late-stage unicorns
• Leverage your existing investor relationships (crypto-native funds, VCs, digital asset managers, institutional capital) to drive capital formation
• Manage the full deal lifecycle — from origination and pitch through execution and closing
• Build and lead your own high-performing deal team
• Collaborate across research, trading, and capital markets to maximize value for clients
• Be a public thought leader at the forefront of Web3 and digital asset finance

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution required
• 10+ years of investment banking experience with a focus on tech, crypto, fintech, or blockchain
• A track record of sourcing and closing $50M–$500M+ transactions — capital raises, M&A, SPVs, and hybrid structures
• A robust, near-term pipeline of live or qualified mandates
• Deep relationships across the crypto capital ecosystem: investors, operators, founders, and family offices
• FINRA Series 79, 63 required; 24 preferred
• Mastery of strategic advisory, valuation, modeling, and execution
• Entrepreneurial mindset, execution horsepower, and the hunger to build something lasting
