Vice President - Multiple Teams

Our Firm

Agentis Capital Advisors is a leading global financial advisor with a reputation for delivering unparalleled value and strategic advice to its clients. Agentis acts as a sell-side and buy-side advisor with a focus on global transactions involving infrastructure, renewable power, energy, digital, transportation, and public-private partnerships.

With more than $125 billion in evaluated transactions and multiple industry awards, including North American Financial Advisor of the Year, we apply disciplined thinking, practical innovation, and an ownership mindset to every mandate. Our guiding principles and ability to generate value are our differentiators, which have earned the trust, respect, and business from leading infrastructure funds, pension funds, contractors, and governments.

Our Differentiators

• A firm-defining mandate: build and lead the function that shapes how Agentis is seen by clients, partners, and future talent

• A seat at the table: work directly with the Managing Partner and senior leadership, with real influence over business development priorities and firm positioning

• Visible impact: your work shows up in every pitch, every closed-deal announcement, and every senior hire

• A front-row view of complex, high-profile transactions across infrastructure, renewable power, energy, digital, and transportation

• Flexibility in how you work: join full-time, or on a fractional basis of approximately three days per week, with competitive compensation either way

• An entrepreneurial culture where good ideas are acted on quickly

The Opportunity

Agentis is growing, and we are looking for a Vice President, Business Development to lead our clients and markets function. This is a senior, high-visibility role, offered full-time or on a fractional basis: you will raise the firm’s profile, amplify the voices of our senior leaders, and make sure every client and prospect relationship is actively owned and well served.

Reporting to the Managing Partner, you will set the operating rhythm for business development across the firm — coverage, pipeline, meeting preparation, and follow-through — so our senior leaders can spend their time with clients and walk into every meeting prepared. You will also own the Agentis brand across LinkedIn, our website, credentials, partner events, and recruiting, so that every closed deal, senior hire, and conference appearance is announced promptly and on brand.

This role suits a seasoned professional who has built or led a clients and markets, business operations, or chief-of-staff function at a professional services firm — a Big Four firm, global law firm, executive search firm, or investment bank — and who wants a meaningful senior role, whether full-time or as a fractional engagement that leaves room for other commitments. Experience in infrastructure, energy, or real assets is a strong asset.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Business Development

• Own the firm’s relationship coverage map, so every client, prospect, and partner relationship has a clear senior owner

• Run the weekly pipeline meeting — agenda, pipeline report, actions, and owners — and keep senior leaders accountable for next steps

• Spot gaps and overlaps in coverage, such as dormant relationships, untouched targets, or duplicate outreach, and recommend where to act

• Track pitches and mandates from first contact to engagement letter, and report conversion to the Managing Partner each quarter

• Keep the CRM and BD call notes accurate as the firm’s system of record, using calendar-based automation and following up only where gaps remain

• Prepare concise pre-meeting briefs on contacts and organizations

Build the Agentis Brand - Marketing & Recruiting

• Own the firm’s LinkedIn presence and a monthly content calendar spanning transactions, people, events, market commentary, and careers

• Draft deal announcements and tombstones, securing client and counterparty sign-off before publishing

• Celebrate our people — new joiners, promotions, speaking engagements, and published views — to position Agentis as a place to build a career

• Support senior leaders’ personal LinkedIn presence through drafting, scheduling, and resharing

• Maintain the firm’s website, careers page, and job postings, keeping them current and on brand

• Keep credentials and recruiting materials current, including the firm overview, team bios, tombstone pages, deal highlights, and “life at Agentis” content

• Coordinate analyst recruiting events, from campus sessions and information nights to case-study days and intern programs

Partner Relations & Events

• Identify and approach co-host partners — law firms, lenders, sponsors, and consultants — and negotiate cost and guest-list splits

• Plan and deliver co-hosted events end to end, from venue and budget to invitations and guest lists built with senior leadership

• Capture attendee lists, hand off follow-ups to the right senior leader, and keep a partner log to inform future pairings

Client & Meeting Facilitation

• Coordinate client and BD meetings across time zones, including invitations, agendas, attendee lists, bios, and any printed materials

• Log meeting notes in the CRM within 24 hours and draft follow-up and thank-you notes for senior leaders to send

• Track post-meeting action items through to closure

• Maintain shared distribution lists and contact records
