Role Overview

Initio Sphere is onboarding Capital Leadership Advisors to provide strategic, operational, and capital markets leadership to fund managers, investors, and deal sponsors.

• Provide leadership-level guidance across complex transactions and portfolio initiatives

• Mentor analysts and deal scouts, strengthening ecosystem quality and credibility

• Access curated deal flow, advisory engagements, and platform-driven exposure
