M&A Director

Location: London

Industry: Industrial / B2B Services (Private Equity-backed)

We are partnering with a pan-European, PE-backed business to appoint an M&A Director. Within this role, you will drive deal origination and execution and lead the acquisitive growth strategy for our client. This is a unique opportunity to own the M&A agenda in a business where acquisitions are central to value creation.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Originate and execute bolt-on and strategic acquisitions across Europe
• Lead deals from valuation and diligence through to closing and integration
• Work closely with internal deal teams to identify, prioritise, and deliver on high-impact opportunities
• Interact with senior leadership on strategy, pipeline management, and value creation
• Typical deal size: £10–15m EBITDA, with occasional £100m+ platform deals

What We’re Looking For

• Director-level experience in PE backed businesses, with a background in investment banking, or corporate M&A
• Sector experience in industrial, distribution, or business services is advantageous
• A track record of singing and closing deals with full ownership of the process
• Ability to originate, structure, and lead transactions independently
• Strong commercial judgement, not just technical M&A skills
• Self-starter who thrives in fast-moving, lean teams

Why This Role?

• Shape and lead the M&A strategy of a market-leading, PE-backed business
• High visibility with executive leadership
• Competitive package and career-defining deal exposure
• London-based with European remit
