Expert Advisory Board Member

Buxton Helmsley is an alternative asset manager headquartered in New York, ranked by Bloomberg in the top 15% of global activist investors (based on volume of investor engagement). Our primary public markets activism strategy involves identifying undervalued companies where operational, governance, or accounting issues have suppressed shareholder value—then working constructively (or, when necessary, assertively) to unlock that value. Our approach combines rigorous forensic analysis with deep capital markets expertise, and we have a track record of generating meaningful outcomes for our investors and the companies we engage. The Opportunity Buxton Helmsley is selectively expanding its Expert Advisory Board—a network of senior professionals whose deep domain expertise directly supports our activist campaigns and portfolio company engagements. As a member of the Expert Advisory Board, you will serve as a strategic resource to the firm across the full lifecycle of our engagements: helping us identify and evaluate new opportunities within your area of expertise, advising on operational, regulatory, or industry-specific considerations during active campaigns, and—where the fit is right—potentially serving on the boards of portfolio companies where your skillset is needed. This is not a passive advisory role. We are looking for people who have built real expertise over the course of serious careers and want to deploy that expertise in high-impact situations. If you are the kind of person who has spent decades mastering your craft and wants to put that knowledge to work in a meaningful way, we want to hear from you. What You Will Do Source & evaluate opportunities.

Serve as a subject‑matter expert during live engagements, providing guidance on industry‑specific issues, regulatory considerations, operational improvement strategies, and other matters within your domain. Support board‑level engagement. Where appropriate, serve as a candidate for board appointment at portfolio companies where your expertise directly addresses identified needs—such as regulatory compliance oversight, operational restructuring, or industry‑specific strategic direction. Contribute to diligence. Assist with pre‑campaign due diligence by reviewing operational, regulatory, or industry‑specific aspects of potential targets. Expand the firm’s reach. Help build and strengthen relationships with industry professionals, institutional investors, and other stakeholders within your area of expertise.
