M&A Director

I'm working with a specialist London M&A advisory firm looking to add a senior hire to its growing Technology, Media and Digital team.

This is a genuine Director-level role, sitting between the senior leadership team and the execution bench, with responsibility for both winning work and leading transactions through to completion.

The firm operates internationally and advises founders, management teams, corporates and private equity investors across sell-side M&A, acquisitions, capital raising and strategic advisory.

The role

M&A Director - TMT

London | £125,000-£175,000 + significant bonus

I'm working with a specialist London M&A advisory firm looking to add a senior hire to its growing Technology, Media and Digital team.

This is a genuine Director-level role, sitting between the senior leadership team and the execution bench, with responsibility for both winning work and leading transactions through to completion.

The firm operates internationally and advises founders, management teams, corporates and private equity investors across sell-side M&A, acquisitions, capital raising and strategic advisory.

The opportunity would suit someone who wants to move away from a highly siloed investment banking environment and have considerably more ownership of clients, origination and deal economics.

You would:

• Originate and convert new M&A opportunities across Technology, Software, Digital Media and Marketing Services
• Build relationships with founders, shareholders, PE investors and strategic buyers
• Lead sell-side and buy-side mandates from initial pitch through to completion
• Own senior client relationships and become the principal day-to-day adviser
• Lead valuation, positioning, buyer strategy, negotiations and transaction execution
• Manage and develop Analysts, Associates and VPs
• Contribute to sector strategy and international buyer/investor mapping
• Work directly alongside the firm's CEO, Managing Directors and senior sector specialists

The background

We are interested in people from:

• Investment banking
• Corporate Finance / M&A boutiques
• Big Four / Top 10 Corporate Finance teams
• Sector-specialist advisory firms
• Financial Services

You will probably have 8-12+ years of Corporate Finance/M&A experience, although quality of transactions, relationships and commercial ability matters more than simply counting years.

You should already be comfortable leading deals and ideally have evidence of origination, fee generation or developing client relationships, rather than being purely execution-led.

Technology, Software, Media, Digital, Marketing Services or adjacent sector experience would be particularly useful.

This is suited to someone who wants a credible route towards Managing Director / Partner-level responsibility within a genuinely entrepreneurial advisory business.
