Senior Level - Investment Banking - TMT

Rosenblatt Securities started as an independent NYSE floor broker in 1979 with a simple goal: help clients prosper with conflict-free advice and execution services. Since then, we have adapted,expanded and diversified to become a leading agency brokerage, investment banking and research boutique. But we remain committed to our founding principles in everything we do:

• Be a trusted counterparty who safeguards clients' anonymity while minimizing information leakage and market impact
• Access liquidity, wherever it resides, to maximize customer alpha
• Embrace any technology or venue that will improve clients' results
• Be deeply expert, including understanding market structure nuances to offer a trading edge
• Deliver personalized, hands-on service that bulge bracket firms can't match

At Rosenblatt Securities we strive, first and foremost, to foster a culture of integrity and independence, in which doing the right thing leads to doing well for ourselves and the firm. We believe in the Golden Rule and good karma.  Like we and many other parents tell their kids, we firmly believe our reputation means everything.

Opportunity

Leveraging our leading market structure and exchanges research (https://www.rblt.com/market-structure) as well as reputation and relationships in those areas, Rosenblatt Securities launched and then has been growing a fin tech investment banking unit over the past decade (https://www.rblt.com/investment-banking).  We believe we are now ready to replicate that success in the broader technology, media and telecom (TMT) sector.  We have built a TMT fundamental research effort (https://www.rblt.com/fundamental-research#TMTR) that includes six senior research analysts and have become respected domain experts in TMT so we believe the timing is right to expand our TMT efforts into banking.  The domain expertise and relationships we have already built with public and private companies in the TMT space should be value-added to any banking effort on both the private and public capital raise fronts as well as M&A advisory.

We are interested in identifying and hiring a professional with domain expertise in the TMT industry, with strong C-suite relationships at public and private companies, proven origination ability and a  solid track record of quality deal execution in the TMT space who can launch and lead this effort. The ideal candidate should be passionate about establishing a world class TMT investment banking practice.  Primary activities will include advising on the strategic direction of the unit;  business development; presentations internally to review committees and externally to the senior management and boards of directors; acting as the lead professional on pitches and engagements; managing as well as executing the day-to-day tasks of engagements and pitches and serving as a principal contact with client personnel; identifying potential additional hires and directing their efforts; preparing deal-specific collateral; negotiating client engagements and deal documents; networking with prospects to build revenue-producing relationships; identifying capital markets opportunities; and driving business development events and initiatives, in addition to closely following firms covered by Rosenblatt’s TMT-research team. The position will report into the President of Rosenblatt Securities. The environment at Rosenblatt is collegial and entrepreneurial and, as such, rewards employees with substantial responsibility. Teamwork is essential to the firm's success. At the same time, creativity and new ideas are encouraged.
