Managing Director, M&A Advisory

Embarc Advisors is disrupting M&A advisory with an hourly-based fee model, moving faster for clients, and changing what advisors can expect from a platform built to help you accelerate and expand your own practice. Our services span sell-side and buy-side M&A, capital raising, quality of earnings, and outsourced/fractional CFO services. We focus exclusively on lower-middle-market clients across the full ownership lifecycle.

Embarc has grown nearly 3x over the past three years, earning three-time recognition on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies and a Top 20 ranking among investment banks by Axial. This recognition reflects our focus on outcomes, pace, and our ability to attract senior, blue-chip talent committed to best-in-class client delivery. Our work has been featured in Fortune, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal.

Every Managing Director is backed by a ~20-person, full-time, US-based execution team, so you can focus on origination and client relationships instead of staffing and delivery.

You will bring and expand your own senior-level relationships, originate engagements across M&A, capital raises, and advisory services, and partner with Embarc's execution professionals to ensure every engagement is delivered with the highest quality and impact. If you thrive in a high-performance culture and want a platform that lets you monetize an established book of business and network, this is the right role for you.

Embarc Advisors was founded to break the mold of traditional finance careers - built by a former Goldman Sachs banker and McKinsey consultant who saw a better way to do this work. We're one of the fastest-growing firms in our space, with revenue up nearly 3x over the past three years and multiple repeated rankings on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies.

We're scaling fast, and we're doing it without sacrificing the culture that got us here.

We deliver best-in-class advisory work across M&A, capital raising, outsourced corporate development, and strategic CFO services--partnering with lower-middle-market companies at every stage of their growth journey, from first capital raise to exit.

We run like an elite team, not a traditional firm: trust-based, purpose-driven, and relentless about getting better;
Kaizen isn't a poster on the wall here, it's how we operate. EOS gives us the structure and accountability to move fast without losing alignment, and it's exactly what lets us attract driven professionals and serious clients alike.
