KYBORA Capital is a life sciences focused investment bank that combines deep domain expertise with agile execution, offering a Managing Director a compelling platform to grow their franchise within a highly specialized sector.
We are seeking an experienced Managing Director to lead our FINRA-registered broker-dealer unit focused on the biopharmaceutical sector. As a senior executive in our boutique investment bank, the Managing Director will drive deal origination and execution in private placements and M&A transactions for biotech and pharmaceutical clients.
This individual will be the key revenue generator, leveraging an extensive network of industry contacts. The role carries full P&L responsibility for the broker-dealer’s advisory business, ensuring compliant operations in line with FINRA/SEC regulations, and providing strategic leadership to the deal team.
The Managing Director reports directly to the CEO and collaborates closely with firm leadership on growth strategy and client development. While the broker-dealer is based in West Palm Beach, FL, we offer flexible/remote work arrangements for the right candidate.
This is a highly entrepreneurial role ideal for a self-starter eager to help build an investment banking platform. The Managing Director will help shape strategy, originate business, and drive meaningful impact in a lean, high-integrity environment.
We offer a highly competitive compensation package designed to attract top talent in investment banking including a base salary in the mid-six-figure range and a substantial performance-based bonus or revenue share tied to the deals sourced and executed. The MD will also be able to participate in the employee stock option program (ESOP).
The broker-dealer’s main office and regulatory base is in West Palm Beach, and familiarity with or willingness to become licensed in Florida is important. The firm is open to remote work arrangements for an exceptional candidate. Given the national scope of our biopharma client base, the MD can be based in another city (e.g. a biotech hub) and operate remotely, with periodic trips to the West Palm Beach office as needed. We utilize modern communication tools to stay connected, but regular travel for client meetings, conferences, and team meetings will be part of the role. The ability to work independently and self-direct in a remote setting is crucial if not local.
This position reports directly to the CEO of the investment bank, reflecting its seniority and importance. The MD will be a part of the firm’s executive leadership team, contributing to high-level decisions beyond day-to-day deal work. In terms of team structure, the MD will lead a group of investment banking analysts dedicated to the biopharma sector deals. He/She will supervise these junior bankers, assign them to projects, and oversee their work and development. The MD is expected to be a hands-on leader, offering mentorship and ensuring the team functions cohesively to deliver for clients. Additionally, the MD will coordinate with other senior colleagues (e.g. other sector MDs or product specialists, if any) and the compliance department to manage the broker-dealer’s operations. The role requires close collaboration with our Compliance Officer and FINOP to uphold regulatory standards, as well as working with the CFO on financial matters of the broker-dealer.
