Consumer Investment Banking MD – Remote

We have been engaged by one of the leading independent Investment Banks in the US. The firm provides M&A advisory, capital-raising, and strategic advisory services to founders, family-owned businesses, financial sponsor-backed companies, and growth-oriented businesses.

The firm’s sweet spot is middle-market transactions ranging from approximately $100M to $500M in Enterprise Value. They differentiate themselves through deep sector expertise, sub-vertical specialization, a national platform, and a highly collaborative, client-focused culture.

Consumer is a core area of focus, and the team is particularly interested in adding a senior MD with deep Food & Beverage expertise. The ideal candidate will have an established network and a demonstrated ability to originate and execute M&A transactions across Food & Beverage and adjacent Consumer subsectors.

What people are saying:

– Client-centric bank with a team of experienced senior bankers
– Boutique-style advisory without the bureaucracy and red tape of a bulge bracket
– Attractive commission structure for revenue-producing MDs
– Strong internal investment in both senior and junior talent
– Deep sub-sector expertise is valued over a generalist coverage model
– National platform with the resources to support senior producers while maintaining an entrepreneurial culture

If you are a seasoned Consumer MD with a meaningful book of business and a proven track record of generating revenue in the middle market, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

As a senior MD within the Consumer practice, you will:

• Expand the firm’s Consumer practice, with a particular focus on Food & Beverage and adjacent Consumer sectors.
