Vice President, Investment Banking

Vice President, Investment Banking Fireclay Partners is building a technology-native investment bank. Vice Presidents are execution leaders: they own transaction workstreams, develop junior talent, and ensure that technology improves both the quality and the pace of client service.

What You Will Do Lead day-to-day execution of M&A engagements, including process strategy, diligence, valuation, materials, outreach, and closing workstreams. Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, buyers, investors, lawyers, accountants, and other advisers. Manage Associates and Analysts, review work rigorously, and create clear accountability across teams. Lead technology-enabled execution by selecting and supervising appropriate uses of AI, automation, structured data, and proprietary tools. Turn recurring execution problems into durable workflows, templates, and standards that improve future engagements. Support business development through high-quality market insight, positioning, and pitch leadership. Who Thrives Here Experienced investment-banking professionals with a record of leading complex transaction workstreams. Excellent accounting, valuation, process-management, writing, communication, and client skills. Practical fluency with AI-enabled workflows and the judgment to balance innovation with verification, confidentiality, and professional accountability. Technical curiosity and the ability to work effectively with builders, data, and modern tools; coding experience is valued but not required. A demanding but developmental leadership style and the ability to make teams more capable over time. This is not an Associate role with a different title. The VP is accountable for execution leadership, team performance, and the disciplined adoption of better technology-enabled ways of working.
