Ladd & Co. is a private advisory firm advising UHNW families, principals, and private institutions across M&A, capital placement, and cross-border structuring. Nine offices globally.
We've built the infrastructure — the platform, the outbound engine, the investor network, the brand. We're looking for someone to own the front end and convert pipeline into signed mandates.
The Role
This is a full-cycle deal origination position. You work outbound pipeline, take discovery calls, qualify mandates, and convert them into signed engagement letters. You also handle inbound referrals from the firm's professional partner network — lawyers, private bankers, accountants, family offices — and turn warm introductions into live mandates. You are the first voice a prospective client hears from the firm.
Responsibilities
Working warm and outbound pipeline generated by the firm's systems. Running discovery calls with prospective clients across sell-side M&A, capital raising, and structuring mandates. Qualifying opportunities and presenting the firm's capabilities. Securing signed engagement letters. Managing deal pipeline from first conversation through to signed mandate. Converting inbound referrals from the firm's advisory network into active engagements.
Qualifications
2-5 years in investment banking, corporate finance, Big 4 advisory, or a similar environment. Strong understanding of deal mechanics — M&A, capital placement, fund structuring. Ability to engage credibly with senior professionals including law firm partners and family office principals. Strong written and verbal communication. Commercially driven with an institutional standard of professionalism.
Compensation
This is a commission-based role. Compensation is uncapped, paid on retainer and completion fees from engagements you originate and close. This structure is suited to experienced professionals who are confident in their ability to convert opportunities independently.
What the firm provides
A global brand with a $4.7B+ track record. Access to a 40,000+ investor network across 37 jurisdictions. Outbound infrastructure already built and producing pipeline. A proprietary platform for deal management and tracking. A direct working relationship with the Principal. A clear path to Director as the firm scales.
Location: Remote. Preference for Dubai, London, New York, or Sydney.
