Join Us as a Corporate Advisory & Banking Relationship Manager

BBH is recruiting a Corporate Advisory & Banking (CAB) Relationship Manager in our Philadelphia office to join our Capital Partners line of business. You will be responsible for sourcing and developing relationships with privately owned businesses and their owners throughout 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.

The Relationship Manager builds a solid internal and external network to support business development to introduce and deepen relationships with private business owners. In most cases, the Relationship Manager is the fulcrum of the relationship with corporate clients, working closely with Senior RMs and colleagues in other areas of Capital Partners.

The Relationship Manager approaches each client and prospect as a corporate finance generalist bringing knowledge of capital markets, capital structure, merger and acquisitions, industry insights, and commercial lending to the dialogue, taking a long term, strategic perspective.

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.

You are also responsible for seeking to develop opportunities where we can deploy equity and/or debt capital and oversee the investment analysis/memo for such opportunities. The Relationship Manager is responsible for following the credit quality of relationships where the firm has put its debt capital at risk, working with the Corporate Lending Team and senior CAB RMs to ensure proper documentation and follow-up.
