Our client, an independent and rapidly expanding boutique investment bank in Los Angeles, is seeking to appoint an Investment Banking Associate to join its growing team. Built by experienced middle-market bankers with strong ties to the Los Angeles deal community, the firm is in an exciting stage of development and is building a high-performing team to support an active and expanding transaction pipeline.
The business is primarily focused on lower middle market sell-side M&A, while also advising on debt capital raises and selected buy-side mandates. Its client base is made up largely of entrepreneur-led businesses across a variety of sectors, including technology, consumer, and business services.
This opportunity offers the chance to join at an early stage and work alongside accomplished bankers who are focused on building the firm with a long-term, quality-driven approach. Our client is looking for a motivated, commercially minded Associate who is eager to develop alongside the platform.
Our client is hiring an Investment Banking Associate to serve as a key member of the deal team, positioned between the Vice President and Managing Director levels. This is a broad, hands-on role rather than a narrowly focused sector position, offering exposure across multiple industries and transaction types from the outset.
