Lead the Deals Defining the Future of AI & Cloud —Starting Day One

At Wedbush Securities, we don’t just talk about innovation — weinvest in it. We’re seeking a Managing Director to lead our AI &Cloud Technology Investment Banking vertical, a once-in-a-generationopportunity to capitalize on the most transformational technologies inthe global economy.

We’re not looking for generalists or future potential — we want aseasoned banker with live mandates, active deal flow, and a vision toscale a profitable practice from day one.

This role offers the best of both worlds : the infrastructure andcredibility of an established national investment bank, paired withthe freedom, flexibility, and economics of building your own practice.

Why This Role Is Different — and Lucrative :

  • Monetize Immediately : You bring the pipeline, we bring theplatform. Close and earn from day one.
  • High Comp, No Ceiling : Our payout structure rewards top producerswith aggressive, transparent upside.
  • Own Your Practice : Full autonomy to build your AI & Cloudvertical — your brand, your strategy, your team.
  • Real Support : Access to experienced execution teams, capitalmarkets, research, sales, and trading.
  • Explosive Sector Growth : AI, machine learning, datainfrastructure, edge computing, and cloud-native SaaS are drivingdemand for strategic transactions across the board.
  • What You Will Lead :

  • Originate and execute M&A, capital raising, and strategicadvisory transactions across the AI, cloud infrastructure, SaaS,data science, and emerging tech stack
  • Manage C-suite and board-level relationships with VC-backeddisruptors, high-growth enterprises, and strategic acquirers
  • Define vertical strategy and shape the firm’s presence in next-gentechnology banking
  • Hire and lead a high-performing team as you scale your vertical
  • Collaborate across Wedbush’s broader tech platform : equityresearch, institutional sales, trading, and corporate access
  • This Role Is for :

  • Senior bankers ready to transact immediately
  • Professionals who want autonomy, upside, and the ability to move fast
  • Dealmakers with the network, credibility, and execution muscle tobuild a high-margin practice
  • Those tired of bureaucratic, slow-moving platforms — and ready toown their outcomes
  • This is Not a Learning Role — It is a Launchpad

    We are only considering experienced, currently active investmentbankers who are ready to transact from day one. This is an opportunityto own a vertical and build real equity — not a junior ramp-up orbusiness development role.

    This opportunity is open to candidates throughout the United States,who will report into either our New York City, San Francisco, LosAngeles, or Chicago offices.

    Experience and Skills

  • Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited institution
  • 10+ years of experience as an Investment Banker, including recentclosed deals in tech (AI, SaaS, cloud infrastructure)
  • Currently managing or actively developing a robust pipeline ofM&A or capital markets opportunities
  • Exceptionally strong relationships with tech CEOs, founders, VCs,and strategics
  • Deep knowledge of corporate finance, valuation, transactionstructuring, and capital markets strategy
  • FINRA Series 79, 63 required (24 a plus)
