About the role

Stout Risius Ross, LLC, Chicago/New York/Washington, DC, seeks a Vice President to lead M&A advisory for Business Services. You will manage transaction strategy, coordinate deal teams, and develop client relationships with founders, PE firms, and strategic buyers. The role requires 7+ years of experience, a finance degree (MBA preferred), advanced modeling and presentation skills, and the ability to mentor junior staff while embracing AI-enabled tools to improve research and workflow.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
