Serve as lead advisor on buy‑side M&A transactions
Provide strategic guidance to clients and manage execution
Build and maintain relationships with acquisition targets and other stakeholders
Negotiate deal terms to secure client objectives
Oversee financial modeling, valuation, and analysis
Mentor analysts and associates; build team capability
Develop new business through referral networks and outreach
Represent Copper Run’s culture and values in every interaction

Friendly, energetic, casual‑but‑professional work environment

Strong leadership and project management abilities
Proven track record of building relationships and closing deals
