Banker Analyst Jobs in Kansas (NOW HIRING)

Job Description:

At Piper Sandler, we connect capital with opportunity to build a better future.

We enable growth and success of our clients through deep sector expertise, candid advice, and a differentiated, highly productive culture. Our mission is to recruit, develop, and retain high-performing people who are bright, committed, and who work in partnership with others to achieve at a high level.

We are currently looking for a Public Finance Investment Banking Analyst to join our national analyst support hub in Leawood, KS, a tight-knit team of driven early-career professionals who learn from one another and are building toward the same goal: a long-term career as a producing public finance banker.

About our Public Finance Group

We are a national public finance investment banking franchise with a diversified business focused on middle market issuers and specialty sector expertise. Our core business is partnering with state and local governments, education sector leaders, not-for-profits, and private developers to raise capital for infrastructure projects through the issuance of tax-exempt and taxable bonds. We finance a broad spectrum of projects across our regional footprint and our specialty sector coverage. Learn more about our public finance team here.

About the Role and Your Career Path

This is more than an analyst seat. It's the first step on a defined career track toward becoming a client-facing, revenue-generating banker. As part of a collaborative team, you'll gain broad, hands-on exposure across the full lifecycle of municipal finance transactions, including RFP responses, bond sizing and cash flow modeling, debt profile analysis, and transaction execution, working with peers and senior bankers, and increasingly, directly with clients.

From there, high performers earn the opportunity to relocate to one of our regional offices, where they take on greater client ownership and begin developing the origination and relationship management skills of a producing banker. Think of relocation not as a requirement, but as the reward: a clear, achievable milestone that marks your transition from junior banker to future revenue producer.

We are especially interested in candidates who, beyond technical excellence, show early signs of the intangibles of a revenue producer: the ability to build rapport quickly, communicate persuasively, read a room, and turn client interactions into trust and opportunity. If you see yourself as part of a high-performing team on a career path that leads to pitching deals, managing client relationships, and generating business, this role, and this team, is designed for you.

Qualifications

• Degree in finance, economics, accounting, business, management, engineering, or other related fields

• Demonstrated high achievement, particularly in team or competitive settings

• Operates consistently with the highest degree of integrity and accountability

• Quickly builds trust and rapport across multiple constituencies, a foundational skill for future client development

• Excellent analytical and financial modeling skills

• Thrives in a high-pressure, deadline-oriented environment

• Enthusiastic, highly self-motivated, and willing to go the extra mile in terms of effort and hours when needed

• Exceptionally well organized with meticulous attention to detail; able to manage multiple projects under pressure without letting quality slip

• Strong communication skills and professional presence with clients required; natural persuasiveness, confidence in client-facing settings, and an entrepreneurial drive toward business development are highly valued

• Genuine excitement about the opportunity to accelerate into a client-facing, revenue-producing role in one of our regional markets

The anticipated starting salary range for individuals expressing interest in this position is $80,000 to $100,000 per year. Placement within this range is dependent upon level of experience, location, and other factors. This position is eligible for annual incentive compensation, which will be part of the total compensation. Total compensation for this position will be competitive with the market.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, marital status, status as a protected veteran, or status with regard to public assistance.
