Director, Investment Banking

Director, Investment Banking

Fireclay Partners is building a technology-native investment bank. Directors lead client relationships, transaction strategy, team development, and business generation while institutionalizing a modern operating discipline across the firm.

What You Will Do

• Lead M&A engagements from positioning and preparation through negotiation and closing.
• Own senior client communication, judgment-intensive decisions, and the quality of all major deliverables.
• Develop new relationships and convert market insight into differentiated advisory opportunities.
• Build and lead technology-native teams that use AI, automation, structured data, and proprietary technology responsibly.
• Ensure that important sector, company, and transaction knowledge is captured, structured, and reusable rather than remaining trapped in individual inboxes or files.
• Coach VPs, Associates, and Analysts to pair sound banking judgment with better systems and workflows.

Who Thrives Here

• Experienced investment-banking professionals with a strong record of execution, client leadership, and business development.
• Excellent judgment, communication, negotiation, valuation, and process-management skills.
• A credible point of view on how technology is changing advisory work and a willingness to lead that change personally.
• Ability to evaluate and institutionalize technology-enabled workflows without sacrificing accuracy, confidentiality, or accountability.
• A team-building mindset: you create standards, develop talent, and leave the institution more capable after every engagement.

This role is for a senior banker who wants to deliver exceptional advice and help build the operating model of the next generation of investment banking.
