VP Equity capital market

Role Summary

A senior individual contributor role leading origination of ECM mandates - IPOs, QIPs, rights issues, OFS, preferential allotments and other equity / equity-linked instruments - with primary focus on client acquisition, relationship management and investor engagement. The incumbent will work closely with the Head - ECM to build the client franchise and syndication network, and will mentor the junior member of the team. Execution and legal coordination are supported separately; hands-on execution/drafting exposure is a good-to-have, not a core requirement.

Experience Profile

• 10-15 years of post-qualification experience in ECM, investment banking or capital markets, with a demonstrated track record in origination and client acquisition.
• Established personal network among corporates, promoters, PE/VC investors and institutional counterparties that can be activated for deal origination.
• Experience engaging directly with institutional investors and managing investor relationships and roadshows.
• Working familiarity with the ECM regulatory framework (SEBI ICDR, LODR); hands-on execution/drafting experience is a good-to-have, not mandatory.

Key Responsibilities

• Originate ECM mandates by proactively building and managing relationships with corporates, promoters, PE/VC investors, family offices and other prospective issuers.
• Identify and pursue new client opportunities across sectors, converting relationships into live mandates for IPOs, QIPs, rights issues, OFS and other equity instruments.
• Lead client-facing engagement through the transaction lifecycle - pitching, mandate negotiation and ongoing relationship stewardship.
• Drive syndication and investor placement strategy, including anchor investor identification, book-building coordination and syndicate desk relationships.
• Build and maintain an active network of institutional investors, mutual funds, FPIs, family offices and PE/VC funds through regular one-on-one meetings and roadshows.
• Represent the firm at investor and industry meetings, conferences and roadshows to build market visibility and deal flow.
• Build and present pitch books, market positioning and transaction rationale for prospective clients and internal management review.
• Track primary market trends, competitor deal flow and investor appetite to sharpen origination strategy and pipeline conversion.
• Coordinate with the execution team (legal, due diligence, documentation) as needed to ensure smooth handoff of mandated deals, without owning day-to-day execution.
• Mentor and guide the AVP/DVP-level team member on origination approach and client engagement.
• Support the Head - ECM in pipeline reviews, MIS and business planning for the ECM vertical.

Key Skills

• Strong origination instinct with the ability to independently build a client pipeline and convert relationships into mandates.
• Excellent relationship-management and investor-facing communication skills; comfortable leading client and investor meetings.
• Confident presence for external representation - conferences, roadshows and one-on-one investor meetings.
• Commercial mindset with the ability to identify and prioritise high-potential origination opportunities.

Leadership orientation with willingness to mentor junior team members on origination and client engagement
