About Bad Twin Capital

Bad Twin Capital is a boutique investment banking and capital markets advisory firm headquartered in Vancouver, BC. We provide capital raising, M&A advisory, and specialized financing solutions to growth-stage companies, funds, and real estate sponsors, connecting them to family offices, institutional investors, and qualified private capital sources across North America.

Our team combines institutional-grade execution with the speed, focus, and creativity of a boutique — running cross-border mandates spanning equity raises, structured debt, sell-side and buy-side M&A, and bespoke financing structures.

The Role

We're hiring a Mandate Origination Associate to close new client engagements for BTC. This is a 100% commission, high-velocity, closing-focused role for someone who excels at consultative B2B sales and can confidently sit across from founders, CEOs, CFOs, and fund managers.

You'll be selling BTC's investment banking services — capital raising, M&A advisory, and specialized financing — to growth-stage companies, private funds, and real estate sponsors looking to hire an investment bank for a transaction.

Your calendar will be pre-filled with sales calls. Qualified meetings are booked directly into your calendar — typically ~50 per week. Your job is to show up, run a great discovery call, qualify the opportunity, and close the engagement letter.

You'll report to our Director of Origination and work alongside the deal team. Once an engagement is signed, the deal team takes over execution — you stay focused on closing the next mandate.

This role is ideal for a top-performing closer who wants to elevate from selling SaaS, financial services, or professional services into the world of investment banking — or for someone with prior experience selling consultative, high-ticket B2B services to executives and business owners.

Key Responsibilities

Discovery & Qualification

• Run sales calls with founders, CEOs, CFOs, and fund managers exploring whether BTC is the right banker for their transaction
• Quickly assess fit: capital need, deal stage, valuation expectations, timing, and probability of close
• Qualify in or qualify out — protect the deal team's bandwidth by only advancing real opportunities

Closing

• Move qualified prospects from first call → engagement letter
• Present BTC's services, process, and fee structure with confidence
• Negotiate retainer terms within firm-approved guardrails and close engagement letters

Pipeline Management

• Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene across every meeting taken
• Provide weekly updates on activity, conversion, and forecasted closes
• Hand off signed engagements cleanly to the deal team for execution

Collaboration & Feedback

• Partner with the Director of Origination on positioning, messaging, and objection handling
• Provide market feedback to refine our targeting, scripts, and outbound campaigns
• Share insight on the kinds of mandates that close and where our pitch needs sharpening

Qualifications

Required

• Must be based in Canada with legal authorization to work
• 3+ years of experience in consultative B2B sales, with a track record of closing high-ticket engagements ($10K+ deal sizes)
• Experience selling to executives, business owners, founders, or fund managers
• Sophisticated written and verbal communication — you can hold your own with a CEO, CFO, or fund manager on a discovery call
• Self-directed, organized, and metrics-driven
• Comfortable working a 100% commission compensation structureStrongly Preferred

• Background in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, M&A advisory, commercial banking, or wealth management
• Prior experience selling professional services, advisory, or consulting engagements
• Familiarity with capital raising, M&A processes, or corporate finance
