Investment Banking Associate (Chicago)
Full-time
Wells Street Growth
Our client is building AI-powered tools that let bankers spend less time on decks and models and more time closing deals — and they're looking for someone to help lead that shift.
You'll work directly with the founding team, who've closed more than $15 billion in M&A transactions at top investment banks. From day one, you're in every stage of the deal: due diligence, buyer strategy, negotiations, closing — not just support work. Top performers get to lead their own transactions and help shape the firm's next chapter, including the product itself.
What you'll do
- Run sell-side M&A deals from prep through close, using proprietary AI tools for marketing materials, buyer lists, and diligence
- Work directly with business owners and sophisticated buyers
- Build your own network of strategic buyers and PE firms in your vertical
- 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
