- Shape the technology transforming how these deals get done
What we're looking for:- 2-3 years in investment banking or transaction advisory
- Deal experience with industrial businesses is ideal
- Sharp valuation and execution skills, comfort with messy data
- An entrepreneurial streak and excitement about AI's role in banking
- The role is Chicago-based and in office, candidates already based in the Chicago area will
