Managing Director | Chicago - Bridgepoint Investment Banking

WHO WE ARE

At Bridgepoint Investment Banking, we're next-gen, impact-focused, and passionate about delivering top-notch results for family and founder-owned businesses while creating a vibrant and dynamic environment for Wall Street rockstars. With a focus on integrity and core values, we provide full-service investment banking solutions for non-sponsored companies across the country from offices in Omaha, Denver, Chicago, Lincoln, and New York.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re seeking Managing Directors to join our innovative middle market investment banking team, offering a unique blend of great compensation, entrepreneurial spirit, and impact-driven work. As the first impact investment bank, we focus on prosperity for our people, clients, and communities, with a fast-paced, culture-focused environment where every team member has a voice. If you're ready to generate new business, manage client engagements, close deals, and mentor junior staff, this is your unique opportunity!

WHO WE DON'T WANT

We're not interested in people who think they're the smartest in the room or have a big ego – leave that at the door. This isn't a place for lone wolves; we value relationships, teamwork and collaboration. If you're just looking to park a license, this isn't for you. We're after folks who are excited about building something bigger than themselves, open to growth, and always striving for improvement.
