We are working with an early-stage electronic marketplace building out a next generation bond issuance platform, looking to engage one or more highly experienced municipal bond professionals on a consulting, advisory or fractional basis.

The immediate objective is to build relationships with institutional municipal bond investors and secure signed Letters of Intent confirming their interest in using a new primary-market platform.

This is not a conventional full-time position. The opportunity is particularly suited to senior professionals who are recently retired, semi-retired, between roles, independently consulting, or otherwise available for a flexible advisory engagement.

The key requirement is a strong and current network across the US municipal bond buy-side.

Relevant backgrounds could include:

• Former senior municipal-market executive now working independently or in an advisory capacity

• Senior institutional municipal salesperson with extensive buy-side relationships

• Former Head of Municipals / Head of Municipal Fixed Income

• Senior municipal portfolio manager

• Senior municipal trader

• CIO or senior fixed-income investment executive

The successful individuals will use their existing relationships to:

• Identify relevant institutional municipal bond investors

• Secure warm introductions to senior decision-makers

• Introduce and help position the platform proposition

• Participate in investor discussions where appropriate

• Help progress interested institutions through internal evaluation and approval

• Support the process towards signed investor Letters of Intent

• Provide market insight on investor requirements and adoption

Relevant relationships may include municipal SMA managers, asset managers, mutual funds, insurers, private banks, wealth managers, RIAs and/or other significant buyers of municipal bonds.

This is fundamentally a relationship-driven mandate. We are interested in individuals who can demonstrate genuine access to senior municipal bond decision-makers and who are prepared to stay involved beyond the initial introduction.

More than one advisor may be engaged where individuals bring complementary networks across different parts of the market.

The engagement is flexible and remote US, with compensation structured according to experience, network and level of involvement.

If you have deep experience in the US municipal bond market and a strong investor network, we would be interested in speaking with you. For a confidential discussion and to learn more about our client, please email shawn@excelsiorsearch.com or mike@volition.work.
