From the employer
Investment Banking Associate
Fireclay Partners is building a technology-native investment bank. This role is designed for exceptional professionals who can combine mature business judgment with hands-on transaction work and the ability to architect AI-enabled workflows.
What You Will Do
- Lead discrete workstreams across pitches, valuation, diligence, buyer research, transaction materials, and client deliverables.
- Guide Analysts, review work for accuracy and clarity, and raise the standard of team output.
- Translate ambiguous business questions into structured research, analytical, and execution plans.
- Design and improve AI-enabled workflows that combine human judgment, structured data, automation, and quality control.
- Document repeatable processes and ensure that useful knowledge is captured for future teams.
Who Thrives Here
- Candidates with an MBA or comparable experience and a record of excellence in finance, consulting, investing, operations, technology, or another demanding field.
- Strong accounting, valuation, Excel, PowerPoint, writing, communication, and project-management skills.
- Practical fluency with AI tools and the ability to design a workflow—not merely produce prompts—while maintaining review, verification, and confidentiality standards.
- Technical curiosity; experience with programming, automation, data analysis, APIs, or no-code tools is strongly valued but not required in every candidate.
- A low-ego, high-accountability leadership style and the confidence to coach junior team members.
We are looking for candidates who want traditional transaction rigor and the responsibility to help build a more capable operating model for investment banking.
