Executive vacancies in investment banking are rare, according to Adam Dean, founder of Dean Executive Search, a headhunter for the financial services industry. Managers of investment banks, he said, need a particular skill set to be successful.

“Negotiators don’t always make great human leaders,” he said. “The skills required to be successful in a managerial position in an investment bank are very different from the attributes that have made them successful in the past. … A good candidate will have a strategic mindset, influence, collaborative skills and the ability to inspire others.
