Apply for Director, Mergers & Acquisitions

Role Overview

The firm is recruiting a Director to its Mergers & Acquisitions practice in New York. Directors hold senior client relationships, originate mandates, and own the strategic direction of transactions across both buy-side and sell-side engagements. The role combines origination with execution leadership; Directors are expected to bring an established network of principals, sponsors, and intermediaries to the firm, and to translate that network into mandate flow.

The firm's M&A practice operates on a distributed origination model — origination is not concentrated at the most senior level of the firm but is genuinely distributed across the practice. Directors carry substantive P&L responsibility within this model, with the corresponding autonomy to build a franchise. The platform — proprietary network, principal-led brand, multi-jurisdictional execution capability — is designed to provide leverage that materially exceeds the equivalent position at a larger institution on a per-Director basis.

The role is suited to senior practitioners who want the autonomy of a partner-track role without the political infrastructure that typically accompanies it. Directors at the firm are practitioners first; their work is judged on the relationships they hold, the mandates they originate, and the outcomes they deliver. The role is a build, not a maintenance assignment.
