Vice President, Technology M&A (Berlin / DACH)

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a leading international technology-focused investment banking platform that is continuing to invest in the growth of its European franchise. Following a number of strategic hires at Analyst and Associate level, the team is seeking to appoint a Vice President to play a pivotal role in driving transaction execution, client coverage, and team development across the DACH region.
