Wedbush Securities is one of the largest securities firms andinvestment banks in the nation. We provide innovative financialsolutions through our Wealth Management, Capital Markets, Futures andAdvanced Clearing & Prime Services divisions. Headquartered in LosAngeles, California with over 100 offices and more than 80correspondent offices, our commitment to providing relentless,customized service is the foundation of our consistent growth.

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)
  • Entrepreneurial, commercially driven, and ready to scale quickly
