Public Finance Investment Banking Analyst

Piper Sandler • Leawood, KS

5d • Onsite

About The Position

Piper Sandler is hiring a Public Finance Investment Banking Analyst for its national analyst support hub in Leawood, Kansas. The role is designed as an early-career step toward becoming a client-facing, revenue-generating public finance banker. Analysts work collaboratively with peers and senior bankers and gain hands-on exposure to the full lifecycle of municipal finance transactions, including RFP responses, bond sizing and cash flow modeling, debt profile analysis, and transaction execution. Analysts may increasingly work directly with clients. High performers can earn the opportunity to relocate to a regional office, where they 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 works 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. Its business focuses on middle-market issuers and specialty-sector expertise.

The anticipated starting salary is $80,000 to $100,000 per year, depending on experience, location, and other factors. The position is eligible for annual incentive compensation, and total compensation is intended to be competitive with the market.
