Managing Director (Partner), Transaction Advisory Services
Location: New York (HQ), or based in Chicago, Dallas, Boston, Los Angeles or San Francisco
Warner Scott is partnering with a global advisory firm, headquartered in New York, to hire a Managing Director into its Transaction Advisory Services practice. This is a partner-level seat with real ownership: you'll lead key client relationships, win new work and build the team around you.
The firm has strong valuation, restructuring and risk teams alongside TAS. That gives you a broad platform to cross-sell from and plenty of room to grow your own client base.
What you'll do
- Lead buy-side, sell-side and lender due diligence for private equity sponsors, corporates and lenders
- Originate new work and deepen existing sponsor and corporate relationships
- Advise on quality of earnings, net working capital, net debt and SPA mechanics, including purchase price disputes
- Spot post-deal support opportunities and bring in work for the firm's other service lines
- Build, develop and lead high-performing deal teams across offices
- Shape the practice's growth plan and market profile
What you'll bring
- 15+ years in transaction advisory or financial due diligence at a Big 4, national or independent advisory firm
- Current Partner or MD, or a senior Director ready to step up
- Established relationships with PE sponsors and deal teams, and a proven track record of winning work
- Deep technical FDD expertise and sharp commercial judgment
- CPA or equivalent strongly preferred
- Sector depth in areas such as TMT, healthcare, industrials or consumer is a plus
What's on offer
- Base salary of $300,000 to $450,000, plus bonus linked to performance and origination
- A partner-level role with real influence over where the practice goes next
- Flexibility on location across the firm's main US offices, with a hybrid schedule
