SJC Partners is managing the recruitment of a Corporate Development Director for a newly established, private equity-backed buy-and-build platform operating within a specialist technical services market. Backed by a leading global private equity sponsor, the business is pursuing an ambitious acquisition strategy within a fragmented, resilient market characterised by recurring revenues and significant consolidation opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

The Role: As Corporate Development Director, you will own and drive the Group's M&A strategy and execution from day one, playing a central role in building a market-leading platform through disciplined acquisition and integration.

Key Responsibilities:
- Shape and deliver the Group's M&A strategy in line with the investment thesis.
- Originate and execute bolt-on acquisitions (typically EBITDA £1m - £5m).
- Lead the full deal lifecycle, including origination, due diligence, execution and post-merger integration.
