Description du poste

Permanent Full-time
A growing independent investment banking business is looking to strengthen its senior team following a strong period of mandate wins and an increasingly active transaction pipeline.
This is a hands‑on senior appointment for someone who enjoys remaining close to transactions, leading clients with confidence and taking genuine ownership of deal execution.
Based in London, the firm advises private shareholders, entrepreneurial businesses and corporate buyers across a broad range of sectors.

The role

Corporate Finance Director

London

As Corporate Finance Director, you’ll take a leading role across both buy-side and sell-side transactions, working closely with clients and the wider senior team from initial engagement through to completion.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading M&A processes with a high degree of autonomy
• Managing day‑to‑day transaction execution and project delivery
• Taking ownership of teasers, information memoranda and other key deal materials
• Building trusted relationships with shareholders, management teams and corporate clients
• Leading client, buyer and adviser meetings throughout the transaction process
• Coordinating due diligence and managing multiple workstreams through to completion
• Reviewing financial and commercial analysis to ensure a consistently high standard of output
• Supporting and developing more junior members of the team
• Contributing to the continued development of the wider investment banking platform

What we’re looking for

You’ll need strong transaction experience and the judgement to manage complex deals without requiring significant senior oversight. The Corporate Finance Director is likely to bring:

• 8+ years’ experience across M&A, lead advisory or transaction execution
• A background within a recognised boutique, investment bank or Big Four deals environment
• Demonstrable experience managing transactions and senior client relationships
• Strong written communication and exceptional attention to detail
• Confidence presenting to and advising senior decision-makers
• A commercially minded, organised and self‑directed approach

ACA‑qualified candidates are of particular interest, although experienced professionals from legal or other relevant advisory backgrounds will also be considered. The role would suit someone who combines strong technical execution with calm, credible client management and is comfortable taking responsibility for delivering transactions at pace across London and the wider market.

What’s on offer

The salary is £130,000-£160,000 plus bonus, depending on experience and track record.
You’ll join a relatively lean senior team, providing meaningful exposure to clients, transactions and decision‑making, with genuine scope to influence how the business continues to develop.
The position is likely to appeal to someone who values a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment over the layers and internal complexity of a larger institution.
For an experienced Corporate Finance Director looking for greater ownership of transactions and client relationships within a high‑quality investment banking environment, this represents an excellent opportunity to join a business with a strong pipeline and clear growth ambitions.
