Job description
Vice President, Power, Utilities & Infrastructure Investment Banking
New York, NY
We are working with a leading global investment bank that is expanding its Power, Utilities & Infrastructure investment banking franchise in New York following a period of significant growth and exceptionally strong transaction activity.
The team is looking to hire a Vice President who can take a leading role in the execution of complex M&A and strategic advisory assignments across the sector.
This is primarily an execution role rather than an origination hire, making it particularly attractive for technically strong VPs who want to remain close to transactions while gaining significant exposure to senior clients and highly experienced Managing Directors.
A HIGH GROWTH PLATFORM-
The group has expanded materially and now combines four senior Managing Directors with a growing team of VPs, Associates and Analysts.
Despite that growth, the platform remains lean relative to its transaction pipeline.
Current and recent activity includes:
A recently announced $3bn utility acquisition
A pending multi-billion-dollar sale of a power and district energy platform
An active ~$500m solar buy-side mandate
An active ~$1bn strategic restructuring / transaction
Additional assignments spanning power generation, regulated utilities, renewables and energy infrastructure
The senior team includes bankers who have held leadership positions or built their careers at several of the worlds leading investment banking franchises.
For an experienced VP, that combination provides exposure to sophisticated transactions while offering considerably more visibility and responsibility than is often possible within a larger, more layered banking team.
THE ROLE-
You will act as a senior execution lead across M&A and strategic advisory transactions.
Responsibilities will include:
Managing the day-to-day execution of complex transactions
Leading financial analysis, valuation and transaction modelling
Managing Associates and Analysts across live engagements
Reviewing transaction materials and providing senior-level technical oversight
Coordinating diligence, documentation and workstreams across transaction processes
Working directly with senior executives, sponsors, corporates and other transaction counterparties
Developing strategic and transaction recommendations alongside senior coverage bankers
Preparing and delivering high-impact client presentations
Maintaining close communication with senior bankers as transactions progress
Training and developing junior members of the team
Contributing sector and market expertise across power, utilities and energy infrastructure
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR-
The preferred candidate will currently be operating at the VP1 or VP2 level within investment banking.
Candidates should bring:
Strong M&A transaction execution experience
Excellent financial modeling and valuation capabilities
The ability to run multiple transaction workstreams simultaneously
Strong client communication and presentation skills
High attention to detail and sound commercial judgment
A track record of operating successfully in demanding investment banking environments
Experience within Power & Utilities is strongly preferred, particularly within power generation, renewables or broader energy infrastructure.
Candidates from a leading M&A product group with relevant transaction exposure will also be considered.
The mandate is focused on finding an exceptional execution banker. A significant existing book of business or demonstrated origination track record is not required.
COMPENSATION-
Vice Presidents have historically received a $275k base salary, with VP total cash compensation ranging from $500k-$700k dependent on performance.
There is flexibility for exceptional candidates.
The bank may also consider:
Bonus buyouts
Approximately $10k of relocation assistance for candidates moving to New York
Certain H-1B situations on a case‑by‑case basis
Candidates with existing US work authorization are preferred.
WHY JOIN-
The attraction of this opportunity is straightforward:
Significant deal flow, a rapidly growing franchise, an unusually strong senior banking team and the opportunity to become a key execution leader within a platform that is continuing to invest.
For VPs who want to remain deeply involved in transactions rather than moving prematurely into a purely origination‑focused role, this is an especially compelling opportunity.
