Part-Time M&A Manager – M&A Boutique

SJC Partners has been exclusively mandated by a newly established M&A boutique in London to recruit a Part-Time M&A Manager. This is a unique opportunity to work closely with entrepreneurs, private equity funds, and high-growth businesses to deliver transaction outcomes — including acquisitions, investments, and company sales.

Founded by three highly experienced dealmakers with a track record of advising on over 100 transactions across Technology, Media, Consumer & Leisure, Business Services, and Real Estate, the firm has already built a strong and active pipeline. As such, they are looking to expand their team with a high-calibre professional who can contribute on a flexible, part-time basis.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead M&A projects (with Partner support), acting as a senior point of contact for clients.
• Manage client relationships and take ownership of day-to-day project delivery across the full transaction lifecycle.
• Prepare and oversee the development of transaction materials, including client proposals, pitchbooks, and information memoranda.
• Coordinate and manage colleagues, support staff, and external advisers throughout transactions.
• Review and supervise detailed financial analysis and modelling undertaken by junior team members.

Candidate Profile: The ideal candidate will have:

• Relevant M&A experience gained within a professional services firm, investment bank, or boutique advisory practice.
• Strong technical understanding of corporate finance and transaction structuring.
• A proactive, independent mindset with the ability to anticipate challenges and develop practical solutions.
• The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously within tight deadlines.

Given the project-based nature of the firm’s work, the role is well-suited to being structured flexibly. The firm welcomes candidates seeking part-time opportunities — whether you are returning to the profession, managing multiple commitments, or pursuing a portfolio career.
