Job Description

We’re not your typical investment banking department. We help states, cities, and schools bring their big ideas to life, whether that’s a new bridge, a safer road, or a high school gym that will host generations of Friday night games.

The challenge? There is over $500 billion of muni bonds issued in the United States per year, and a highly competitive industry competing to underwrite it. That’s where you come in. That’s where you come in. Your job is to help us supercharge our bankers so they can spend less time on routine tasks and more time getting money into the hands of the people shaping the infrastructure of tomorrow.

How? By building and deploying a full suite of applications targeted to streamline the deal and client coverage process from start to finish. You’ll join a team of Strategists working with our Public Finance Bankers to give the firm a competitive advantage through automation and scale, from building innovative analytics for our clients to automating the most cumbersome junior banker tasks. The future of finance isn’t decades away, it’s happening right now, and you’ll be building it with us. You’ll work closely with bankers to find their main pain points and build to alleviate them!
