Yoda Capital is expanding its national Partner network and is seeking experienced commercial advisers who can originate, win and lead M&A; and corporate advisory mandates for privately owned and founder-led businesses.

This is a full-cycle Partner role. You will develop relationships with business owners and professional advisers, identify strategic and transaction opportunities, convert those opportunities into paid engagements, and remain involved through assessment, preparation, negotiation, due diligence and completion.

You will be supported by Yoda Capital’s central advisory capability, structured methodologies, research resources, analysts and MandateOS, our proprietary, in-house AI-driven advisory platform.

This is not a referral-only position, nor is it a traditional listing-led business-broking role. It is suited to senior professionals who can combine relationship development, commercial judgement and transaction execution.

About Yoda CapitalYoda Capital is an independent M&A; and corporate advisory firm working with privately owned, entrepreneurial and founder-led businesses.

Our work includes

- Strategic assessments and business valuations
- Exit, succession and transaction planning
- Sell-side and Buy-side M&A;
- Partial sales and strategic partnerships
- Capital raising and corporate finance
- Transaction preparation and value improvement
- Buyer and investor identification
- Negotiation, due diligence and transaction management
- AI efficiency and implementation advisory

Our approach begins before a business is taken to market. We assess value, strategic position, transaction readiness, risks, value drivers and the likely buyer or investor universe before recommending the appropriate pathway.

The MandateOS advantage

Partners operate through MandateOS, Yoda Capital’s custom-built AI-driven advisory and transaction platform.

MandateOS is designed to bring opportunity qualification, evidence review, strategic assessment, valuation workflows, buyer and investor analysis, mandate management, transaction tracking and stakeholder collaboration into one operating environment, all automated with AI.

For Partners, this means:

- Less time spent on repetitive administration
- Faster analysis, valuations and mandate preparation
- More consistent advisory and transaction processes
- Better visibility across opportunities, evidence and deliverables
- Structured support throughout the mandate lifecycle




- The ability to manage multiple mandates at once without sacrificing quality

MandateOS does not replace Partner judgement or client relationships. It gives experienced advisers greater leverage, stronger process discipline and access to capabilities that would otherwise require a substantial internal team.

- Develop a geographic, sector or professional-referral market
