The Opportunity
You’ll work on the origination and execution of lead advisory mandates in the mid-market, specialising in Healthcare and helping clients achieve their strategic objectives - buying or selling their business - from initial strategic review through to successful completion. The team has significant growth ambitions, built on deep sector expertise and a relentless focus on high-quality deal execution. This is a rare opportunity to join as a genuine sector specialist within a growing, ambitious team, backed by:
- Senior, trusted client relationships across mid-market and global companies, new strategic entrants, financial investors and leading entrepreneurs
- An enviable set of market credentials spanning all of the firm's major service lines
- A diverse skill set and deep sector expertise across the business
What You’ll Do
- Lead M&A projects - with support from a Director or Partner - as one of the senior points of contact for clients
- Own the day-to-day management of client relationships and the delivery of M&A transactions, across every phase of the deal cycle
- Lead the preparation of transaction documentation, including pitch materials and client proposals
- Direct and manage colleagues, wider support staff and external advisers
- Supervise and review complex financial analysis and modelling produced by the team
- Build and develop your own relationships in the market
- Take ownership of agreed origination and business development activity
- Set, monitor and control project budgets, billing and reporting
What They’re Looking For
- Strong academic background (ACA, CFA, MBA or equivalent)
- Significant M&A advisory experience gained at an investment bank, Big Four firm, private equity house, M&A boutique, or in corporate business development
- Sector-specific M&A experience, with a demonstrable record of deal execution across the full transaction cycle, from origination to completion
- Experience advising private sector clients through to financial close (M&A and refinancing); public sector advisory experience — option appraisals, value-for-money analysis, business case development — is a plus
- Good knowledge of financing structures, including debt and equity project/infrastructure finance and high-leverage transactions
