VP of Sales M&A

About the role

We are looking for a senior sell-side banker to own mandate origination and execution as VP of Sales M&A. You will work directly alongside EPL's founding partners, lead your own deal pipeline, and help build the firm's sell-side platform in the lower middle market.

Responsibilities

• Source and win exclusive sell-side mandates from founder and family-owned businesses in the $5M to $50M EV range
• Lead full sell-side processes end-to-end: CIPs, financial models, buyer qualification, management presentations, LOI and purchase agreement negotiation
• Build and maintain coverage of LMM-active PE sponsors and strategic acquirers across your target verticals
• Partner with EPL leadership on firm strategy, process standards, and platform development
• Mentor team members as the practice scales

Requirements

• 10+ years of investment banking experience with a client acquisition M&A focus
• Demonstrated track record originating mandates independently, not solely executing deals sourced by others
• Deep sector knowledge in one or more of B2B tech
• Able to guide owners through high-stakes, emotionally complex sale processes with credibility and composure
• Autonomous operator: able to manage multiple mandates simultaneously without institutional support infrastructure

Benefits

100% success-fee revenue share (on retainers and success fess). No base salary. Terms negotiated individually based on origination and execution contribution. For a partner closing 3 to 10 transactions annually in this segment, total compensation is commensurate with senior boutique banking.
