Investment Banking (Lower, Lower Mid-Market, and Mid-Market)

Quartz Bridge works with investment banking teams across the lower, lower mid-market, and mid-market, helping them hire senior leaders and experienced deal professionals. We support groups involved in M&A advisory, capital raises, and sector-focused banking. Our work centres on finding individuals who combine strong technical skills with the ability to manage transactions, build client relationships, and contribute to the long-term growth of the platform.

Areas of Focus

M&A Advisory

This area involves supporting teams that advise on both buy-side and sell-side transactions across the lower, lower mid-market, and mid-market. The focus is on professionals who can manage the full lifecycle of a deal: from initial financial analysis and valuation work, through due diligence coordination, to negotiation and closing. Strong candidates typically bring experience running multiple workstreams, preparing detailed transaction materials, and providing clear guidance to clients during fast-moving and often demanding processes. A deep understanding of financial modelling, deal structures, and market dynamics is essential, alongside the ability to communicate recommendations in a clear and commercially grounded way.

Capital Raising

Capital raising activity ranges from private placements to growth equity raises and structured financing solutions. Teams operating in this space require individuals who have a solid grasp of investor expectations, financial instruments, and the broader capital markets environment. The emphasis is on professionals who can prepare and refine investor materials, build robust financial models, and manage detailed Q&A with potential investors. Effective candidates also bring experience coordinating information flows, shaping the equity story, and supporting clients as they navigate market feedback and negotiations. Strong communication skills and an understanding of how different investor groups evaluate opportunities are central to this area.

Industry Coverage

Sector-focused coverage roles require a blend of financial capability and genuine industry insight. These teams typically work across verticals such as industrials, technology, business services, transportation, infrastructure, and other mid-market sectors. The focus is on professionals who can understand industry trends, assess how businesses create value, and build long-term relationships with owners, investors, and senior executives. Strong candidates combine technical banking skills with the ability to originate ideas, identify opportunities, and position themselves as trusted advisors to clients within their sector. A solid network and the ability to translate market activity into actionable insights are key components of successful coverage work.

Execution & Financial Modelling

Execution-heavy teams rely on individuals who can manage complex modelling tasks, detailed valuation work, and key transaction processes with accuracy and consistency. This includes building and maintaining detailed financial models, preparing analysis for investment committees or clients, identifying risks during diligence, and coordinating with legal and accounting advisors. Professionals in this area must have strong attention to detail, a deep understanding of accounting and corporate finance principles, and the ability to work under pressure during time-sensitive transactions.
