\n
• A diverse skill set and deep sector expertise across the business
\n

What You’ll Do\n

\n
• Lead M&A projects - with support from a Director or Partner - as one of the senior points of contact for clients
\n
• Own the day-to-day management of client relationships and the delivery of M&A transactions, across every phase of the deal cycle
\n
• Lead the preparation of transaction documentation, including pitch materials and client proposals
\n
• Direct and manage colleagues, wider support staff and external advisers
\n
• Supervise and review complex financial analysis and modelling produced by the team
\n
• Build and develop your own relationships in the market
\n

What They’re Looking For\n

\n
• Significant M&A advisory experience gained at an investment bank, Big Four firm, private equity house, M&A boutique, or in corporate business development
\n
• Sector-specific M&A experience, with a demonstrable record of deal execution across the full transaction cycle, from origination to completion
\n
• Experience advising private sector clients through to financial close (M&A and refinancing); public sector advisory experience - option appraisals, value-for-money analysis, business case development - is a plus
