Role Overview

Initio Sphere is onboarding Deal Advisory Mentors to support fund managers, investors, and deal sponsors with strategic deal guidance across the transaction lifecycle.

Investment committee support and decision-making frameworks

Diligence oversight, risk mitigation, and negotiation strategy
