Entrepreneurial Managing Director Investment Banking Strategic Advisory Harrison Hayes Llc

## About the Role Entrepreneurial Managing Director — Investment Banking & Strategic Advisory ## About the Company Harrison Hayes is a boutique investment bank and strategic advisory firm focused exclusively on life sciences. Since 2007 we have facilitated over $25 billion in transactions across biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and digital health. Our team of 50+ professionals brings deep sector expertise and a proven track record serving innovation-driven companies at critical inflection points. We are not looking for an employee. We are looking for a founder-level partner who wants to build something significant on an established platform. ## The Model This opportunity is structured around the same core principle that drives the most successful entrepreneurial partnerships in the market: you bring the talent, the drive, and the vision — we provide the platform, the reputation, the relationships, and nearly two decades of institutional credibility. Your compensation is not primarily a salary. It is a meaningful equity stake in a firm with a $25 billion transaction track record, an active client base, and a clear growth trajectory. The value you create is value you own directly and permanently. The better you build it, the more it is worth. That is the deal. ## The Opportunity We are launching two simultaneous growth initiatives and 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 deeper sector coverage across biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and digital health. * The second is the launch of our Innovation and Ideation practice — a new offering providing life science companies with strategic innovation infrastructure and commercial insight to identify emerging opportunities before the market prices them in. Run what exists. Build what does not yet exist. Do both with the urgency and ownership mentality of a true entrepreneur. ## Responsibilities * Lead and grow client relationships across M&A, licensing, royalty monetization, and strategic advisory * Build and manage a high-performance virtual team from analysts to senior advisors * Architect and launch the Innovation and Ideation practice from concept to revenue * Drive business development and senior client relationship management * Represent Harrison Hayes externally across the life science ecosystem ## Requirements * Experienced in life sciences investment banking, strategic advisory, business development, or consulting * A proven deal originator and closer * Capable of building and leading virtual teams with intentional culture and accountability * Entrepreneurially driven — you think like an owner because you will be one * Ready to bet on yourself in exchange for meaningful upside rather than a defined ceiling ## What We Offer Just as the best accelerator models give founders a proven infrastructure to build on rather than starting from zero, Harrison Hayes gives you: * An established 18-year brand and reputation in life sciences * An active client base and live deal pipeline * Direct access to the founder and full institutional knowledge * A virtual structure with no geographic constraint * A significant equity stake of 4.0% – 10.0% that makes your success inseparable from the firm's success The platform is built. The credibility is earned. What happens next depends entirely on who walks through the door. ## The Right Question The right candidate will not ask what this role requires. They will ask what it makes possible. If you read this and thought about what you could build rather than whether you are qualified to apply, reach out directly. Tell us not what you have done but what you would do with this platform and why you are the person to do it. [email protected]
