Public Finance Investment Banking Analyst

Piper Sandler • Leawood, KS

7d • $80,000 - $100,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Piper Sandler is seeking a Public Finance Investment Banking Analyst to join its national analyst support hub in Leawood, Kansas. The role is designed as the first step on a defined career track toward becoming a client-facing, revenue-generating public finance banker. Analysts gain hands-on exposure across the lifecycle of municipal finance transactions, working collaboratively with peers and senior bankers and increasingly with clients. High performers may have the opportunity to relocate to a regional office, take on greater client ownership, and develop origination and relationship-management skills. Relocation is described as an opportunity rather than a requirement.

Piper Sandler's Public Finance Group partners with state and local governments, education-sector leaders, not-for-profits, and private developers to raise capital for infrastructure through tax-exempt and taxable bond issuance. The group serves middle-market issuers and has specialty-sector expertise.

The position requires analytical and financial modeling ability, organization, attention to detail, integrity, accountability, and the capacity to perform in a high-pressure, deadline-oriented environment. Strong communication and professional presence are required; persuasiveness, confidence in client-facing settings, and an entrepreneurial interest in business development are highly valued. Candidates must be available to start immediately.

• Demonstrated high achievement, particularly in team or competitive settings.
• Consistently operate with the highest degree of integrity and accountability.
• Ability to build trust and rapport quickly across multiple constituencies.
• Excellent analytical and financial modeling skills.
• Ability to thrive in a high-pressure, deadline-oriented environment.
• Enthusiastic, highly self-motivated, and willing to put in extra effort and hours when needed.
• Exceptional organization and meticulous attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple projects under pressure without compromising quality.
• Strong communication skills and professional presence with clients.
• Availability to start immediately.

Nice To Haves

• Natural persuasiveness, confidence in client-facing settings, and an entrepreneurial drive toward business development.
• Genuine excitement about accelerating into a client-facing, revenue-producing role in a regional market.

Responsibilities

• Support the full lifecycle of municipal finance transactions.
• Prepare responses to requests for proposals (RFPs).
• Perform bond sizing and cash flow modeling.
• Conduct debt profile analysis.
• Support transaction execution.
• Collaborate with peers and senior bankers and increasingly work directly with clients.
