Join Us as a Corporate Advisory & Banking Relationship Manager

 

BBH is recruiting a Corporate Advisory & Banking Relationship Manager in our New York office. You will be responsible for building the Firm's relationships with privately owned businesses and their owners in the Mid-Atlantic region. By working with private business owners, their employees and other advisors, BBH develops, maintains and grows multi-generational relationships with successful families.

 

As a Corporate Advisory & Banking Relationship Manager, you will build a robust internal and external network to support business development.  You will be the fulcrum of the relationship with private business owner clients, identifying opportunities for BBH to assist them by providing advice and capital. You will have the opportunity to approach each client and prospect as a generalist on issues of strategic importance to private business owners, such as mergers and acquisitions, exit opportunities, capital structure, capital markets, commercial lending, private equity, corporate governance, and industry insights. In all cases, you will take a long-term, strategic perspective in order to become a trusted advisor to these private business owners. In many situations, it will be important to recognize issues at the intersection of the private business and the family, helping owners navigate governance, business and wealth succession.

 

In order to be successful, you will need to work closely with the other BBH Capital Partners teams that deliver various client solutions. With the help of the Corporate Lending team, you will originate new corporate credit opportunities. While the Corporate Lending team is responsible for underwriting the credit and managing the portfolio of existing credits, you will have primary responsibility for the overall client relationship.

 

Similarly, through your business development efforts with private business owners you will originate new opportunities for BBH’s private equity team to invest capital.  You will also identify opportunities to introduce private business owners to BBH’s Multi-Family Office services such as private wealth investment advisory, trust & estate planning, and philanthropic advisory.

 

In summary, the nature of the position and BBH’s broad product and service offering enables you as a Corporate Advisory & Banking Relationship Manager to take an entrepreneurial approach to creating invaluable long-term relationships with private business owners.
