Jobbeschreibung

Director, Investment Banking

Total Experience: 4-7 years

The Opportunity:

This is not a typical fixed-pay Director position. It is a partner-track role for someone who wants to build a business within the company’s platform – originating deals, closing transactions, and earning meaningful economic participation in the outcomes they create.

O Advisors is India’s first and leading specialist investment bank for Deep-tech and Sustainability. We provide growth capital raising and M&A advisory with deep coverage across five themes: Energy and Climate Transition, Mobility and Transportation, AI and Frontier Tech, Sustainable Agriculture and Food, and Built Environment and Materials. We work on deal sizes in the range of $5-100 million, typically Series A, B and later stages.

Who We’re Looking For:

We want someone hungry. Someone who will walk into a conference, spot three potential mandates, and follow through until one converts. Someone who has closed real deals – not just worked on them – and wants to do it again with the backing of India’s strongest climate-tech investor platform.

The right person for this role has two things in combination:

• The drive to originate: You are energized by meeting founders, building investor relationships, and generating pipeline. You don’t wait for mandates to land on your desk – you go find them. You are comfortable with cold outreach, networking events, and the grind of converting a conversation into a signed engagement.
• The skill to close: You have hands-on experience closing equity fundraising or M&A transactions. You understand deal structuring, valuation, investor negotiations, and the mechanics of getting from mandate to money-in-the-bank. You’ve done this at least 2-3 times in your career at the $5-50M deal range.

What You’ll Do:

You will work directly with the Founder, leading deal origination and execution for climate-tech advisory practice.

• Generate pipeline: Independently lead BD outreach through networks, events, conferences, and direct founder engagement. Build sector-specific theses that position the firm early in emerging opportunities.
• Close deals: Own end-to-end deal execution from mandate to close – structuring, modeling oversight, investor outreach, negotiation, and closing.
• Build investor relationships: Actively engage with global and Indian investors across the firm’s focus sectors.
• Lead with intelligence: Bring analytical rigour to everything – from evaluating a potential mandate’s viability to structuring a fundraise to defending a valuation.

Compensation – Designed for Ownership:

This is a partner-track role. The compensation structure rewards origination and deal-closing, not tenure.

• Fixed Pay: Will be discussed during interview process.
• Performance Bonus: 100-150% of fixed pay, linked to achievement of OKRs.
• Revenue Share: 10% of gross fee revenue on deals originated from new-to-firm client relationships you bring in.

What You Bring:

• Deal-closing experience: 4-7 years of hands-on involvement in equity fundraising or M&A transactions in the $5-50M range.
• Origination instinct: Demonstrated ability to source deals, build relationships with founders and investors.
• Financial and analytical depth: Strong command of financial modeling, valuation (DCF, comps, VC method, NAV), deal structuring, and term sheet negotiation.
• Education: Qualified CA, CFA, and/or Masters or PG degree in Management/Finance preferred.
