Role Overview

This is a rare opportunity to join a leading boutique strategic advisory firm that acts as the primary bridge between visionary founders and sophisticated global capital.

You will lead high-impact mandates that span the GCC, the US, and Europe, providing strategic guidance to investment managers and high-growth start-ups. This role is designed for a high-performer who thrives on significant responsibility and direct access to prominent leaders in the global financial services industry.

Key Responsibilities

Timeline Oversight: Act as the primary driver for project deadlines and operational timelines, maintaining momentum across multiple concurrent engagements.
Strategic Execution: Navigate the gap between operational founders and capital providers, ensuring strategic alignment throughout the investment lifecycle.

2. Investor Relations & Capital Raising

Roadshow Coordination: Organize and execute high-profile investor roadshows, connecting start-ups and investment managers with relevant VC and PE capital.
Pitch Development: Assist in the creation of compelling client pitches and executive-level presentations that articulate complex value propositions to global investors.
Network Integration: Leverage the firm’s extensive network of prominent financial services figures to facilitate strategic partnerships and capital flow.

3. Client Advisory & Market Expansion

Ecosystem Expertise: Provide advisory support that helps start-ups and fund managers navigate the unique regulatory and economic landscapes of the Middle East, North America, and Europe.
Business Development: Support the senior leadership team in identifying and securing new strategic advisory mandates through high-quality research and market analysis.
