- Typically, one to two years in banking followed by meaningful experience at a high-growth startup, growth equity or venture capital firm, or small to midsize private equity fund.
- Ownership of live M&A transactions, including process management, client advisory, negotiation, and execution.
- Strong commercial judgment and client-facing skills, with the ability to earn trust and manage relationships independently.
