Executive Director, Investment Banking (Remote)

About the company The Palmstone Group is a private international holding and investment group with operations across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. At the Palmstone Group, we are more than just a holding company – we are pioneers, visionaries, and catalysts for change. Our mission is simple yet audacious: to build daring ventures that change the world. We operate at the forefront of innovation, across a diverse range of industries, and we are driven by a relentless passion for progress. We believe that the world is constantly evolving, and so are the needs of its inhabitants. To meet these ever-changing demands, we dare to dream bigger, think bolder, and act faster. Our vision is to be at the vanguard of transformation, leading the way towards a brighter and more sustainable future for all. Overview Palmstone Capital is a modern investment-banking and capital-advisory firm, advising mid-market companies across Europe and the U.S. on capital raising, growth financing, and M&A transactions. We combine institutional-quality execution with a tech-driven origination engine that produces a constant flow of warm, pre-qualified founders already seeking funding or exits. As an Executive Director, your focus is simple: close mandates and run deals from start to finish. You’ll engage directly with interested founders and executives, guiding them through Palmstone’s proprietary short-cycle engagement process – built in-house to close mandates faster and more effectively than the traditional model. This is a role for experienced dealmakers who want to operate with speed, precision, and autonomy, backed by an infrastructure that handles everything else. What You’ll Do • Engage directly with interested leads – founders and executives already expressing interest in advisory support. • Lead short, decisive advisory conversations (2 call close process). You’ll diagnose, position, and convert. • Negotiate and close engagement mandates – you own the commercial relationship. • Oversee execution through our internal analysts and investor network until successful closing. • Manage investor communication, data room preparation, and transaction coordination. • Collaborate with Palmstone’s origination team to refine outreach and maximize conversion rates. What You’ll Get • A constant flow of warm leads – you focus solely on conversion and relationships. • Analyst and execution support for diligence, materials, and investor outreach. • Institutional-grade infrastructure: CRM, automation, investor coverage, and process templates. • Proven frameworks for mandate origination, investor outreach, and deal management. • The credibility and infrastructure of an established global financial group. • Access to an international network of investors, lenders, and strategic partners. • Freedom to build your own team and structure within an institutional platform. Compensation • Percentage of engagement and success fees from all mandates you close and manage. • Transparent, performance-based model – no cap, no politics, no hierarchy. • Optional equity or profit participation based on performance. • No fixed salary – this is a partner-level position designed for high-performing closers who want freedom and unlimited upside. Who You Are • 7–10+ years of experience in investment banking, M&A advisory, private equity, or corporate finance. • Proven record of closing mandates – confident leading commercial discussions and moving deals fast. • Deep understanding of capital markets, valuations, and investor communications. • Comfortable in short-cycle sales environments – thrives on direct decision-making and results. • Strong presence and credibility with founders, boards, and investors. • Entrepreneurial and outcome-driven – motivated by ownership, not employment. • Loyal, long-term builder – you want to grow with Palmstone Capital, not just transact through it.
