Entrepreneurial Managing Director Harrison Hayes Llc New York Virtual Full Time Equity

## About the Role This Is Not a Job. It Is a Platform. Harrison Hayes has spent nearly two decades becoming one of the most respected boutique life science advisory and investment banking firms in the industry. Since 2007, we have facilitated over $25 billion in transactions across biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and digital health sectors. We have built a team of more than 50 professionals representing 400 years of collective life science expertise. We have earned a reputation that most firms in this space spend careers trying to build. Now we are looking for the person who will take what we have built and make it into something larger, faster, and more consequential than it has ever been. That person is not a caretaker. They are a builder. ## What Harrison Hayes Does We are an investment bank and strategic advisory firm with an exclusive and uncompromising focus on life sciences. Our work spans mergers and acquisitions, licensing deals, royalty monetization, strategic advisory, and cross-border engagements across the full spectrum of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and digital health. Our clients are innovation-driven companies at critical inflection points. The work we do with them changes the trajectory of therapies, technologies, and ultimately patients. We do not dabble in life sciences. We live inside it. That focus is our competitive advantage and it is the foundation on which the next chapter of Harrison Hayes will be built. ## The Opportunity We are launching two simultaneous growth initiatives and we need one exceptional leader to drive both. The first is the continued expansion of our core investment banking and advisory practice through virtual team building, new client development, and deepened sector coverage across our existing verticals. The second is the launch of our Innovation and Ideation practice, a new offering that will complement our investment banking capabilities by providing life science companies with the strategic innovation infrastructure, ideation frameworks, and commercial insight they need to identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities before the market has priced them in. This is a rare combination of mandates. Run what exists. Build what does not yet exist. Do both simultaneously with the urgency and ownership mentality that only someone with genuine entrepreneurial DNA can bring to it. ## What You Will Do - Lead and grow Harrison Hayes's investment banking and strategic advisory practice, expanding client relationships across biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and digital health sectors with a focus on M&A, licensing, royalty monetization, and strategic advisory engagements. - Build and manage a high-performance virtual team, identifying, recruiting, and developing talent across the full professional spectrum from analysts to senior advisors, creating the infrastructure that allows Harrison Hayes to scale without sacrificing the boutique quality and specialized focus that defines us. - Architect and launch the Innovation and Ideation practice from concept to commercialization, developing the methodology, the go-to-market strategy, the client offering, and the team that will make it a meaningful and differentiated revenue stream within the firm. - Represent Harrison Hayes at the senior level with clients, prospects, partners, and the broader life science ecosystem, carrying the firm's legacy and reputation into every conversation with the authority and conviction that nearly two decades of market leadership earns. - Drive business development with discipline and creativity, identifying new client opportunities, deepening existing relationships, and building the pipeline that sustains and accelerates the firm's growth trajectory. ## Who You Are - You have meaningful experience in life sciences, whether in investment banking, strategic advisory, business development, consulting, or operating roles within biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or medical device companies. You understand how deals get done, how decisions get made, and where the value actually sits in a life science transaction. - You are entrepreneurially minded in the genuine sense of the word. You are not looking for a role with a defined scope and a clear ceiling. You are looking for a platform with an open horizon and the resources, the reputation, and the relationships to build something on it. The long hours that come with building something do not intimidate you. They energize you. - You are a leader who builds teams rather than managing headcount. You understand that a virtual organization requires a different and more intentional approach to culture, communication, and accountability than a traditional office environment, and you know how to create that environment without a physical space to anchor it. - You are commercially serious. You can close. You understand that the most important conversations in this business happen at the intersection of deep domain expertise and genuine human trust, and you know how to be the person in that conversation who earns both. - You are ready to own something. Not metaphorically. A significant equity stake in Harrison Hayes is on the table for the right candidate, and that means the growth you generate is growth you participate in directly and permanently. ## What Harrison Hayes Offers - A significant equity stake in a firm with nearly two decades of market presence, an established client base, a $25 billion transaction track record, and a clear and executable vision for its next phase of growth. - The mandate to lead and build with genuine autonomy, reporting directly to the founder with full access to the firm's relationships, reputation, and institutional knowledge. - A virtual structure with no geographic constraint. You work where you work best. The team you build will work where they work best. - The opportunity to launch a new practice from the ground up within an established firm, combining the entrepreneurial energy of a startup
