Our client, a leading international investment bank with a highly regarded and deal‑active healthcare franchise, is looking to appoint a Vice President or Senior Vice President to join its Healthcare M&A team in London.
Crucially, prior healthcare experience is not essential. The team is equally keen to hear from strong M&A professionals from generalist or technology backgrounds who have a genuine interest in the healthcare sector and are looking to specialise. Full support will be provided to build sector knowledge within one of the most active and defensive areas of the M&A market.
The Role:
- Execute M&A transactions across the healthcare sector, including sell‑side and buy‑side mandates for corporates, private equity firms and founders
- Run day‑to‑day deal processes, managing multiple workstreams and acting as a key point of contact for clients and counterparties
- Support senior bankers on origination, including pitch preparation, sector analysis and the development of new client relationships
- Supervise and develop analysts and associates across live transactions and marketing efforts
- Build deep expertise across healthcare subsectors, including pharma services, medtech, healthcare services, diagnostics and life sciences
Candidate Requirements:
- Strong M&A execution experience gained within an investment bank or advisory boutique, currently operating at Vice President or Senior Vice President level (or a senior Associate ready to step up)
- Sector background is flexible — candidates from generalist, technology, business services or other coverage teams are actively encouraged to apply
- A genuine, demonstrable interest in the healthcare sector and the motivation to specialise
- Proven ability to run deal processes with limited oversight, with excellent technical and analytical skills
- Confident communicator, comfortable managing clients and mentoring junior bankers
- Ambitious, collaborative and keen to contribute to a growing franchise
What's on Offer:
- The chance to specialise in one of the most resilient and consistently active sectors in M&A, with full support in building healthcare expertise
- A senior execution role within a respected team with a strong live pipeline
- Clear progression towards Director and beyond
- Highly competitive remuneration, comprising base salary and discretionary bonus
- A collegiate, entrepreneurial culture that rewards initiative
