Job description

What could you win in the North West with a national advisory firm and dedicated origination support behind you?

You’ve built relationships in the market and can point to deals you’ve won and led. This is a chance to put those relationships to work in a visible senior role, with an experienced Manchester team behind you and a say in where the business grows next.

What you’ll take on

You’ll originate and lead M&A transactions, working directly with business owners from the first conversation through to completion. You’ll have influence over the opportunities the team pursues, the relationships it invests in and how it builds its presence across Manchester and the wider North West.

• Develop your own pipeline through relationships with business owners, advisers, investors and other introducers.
• Lead pitches, win mandates and take responsibility for delivery on live transactions.
• Advise shareholders and management teams through significant decisions, staying close to the client as the deal progresses.
• Work with colleagues across the national network to develop opportunities and bring in specialist expertise where it adds value.
• Help develop colleagues in Manchester and take a senior role in growing the team.

What’s behind you

You’ll have an established local deal team, a recognised name in the market and dedicated origination support to help develop opportunities. The wider firm brings specialist expertise across Corporate Finance, Debt Advisory and other advisory services, giving you more ways to start conversations with business owners and more expertise to draw on when a mandate calls for it.

Who it will suit

You might be a Corporate Finance Director looking for more scope to shape a business, or a Senior Director considering your next move. You’ll have an established North West network and a track record of personally originating and leading transactions. You should be able to talk through the relationships that brought in recent mandates, the part you played in winning them and how you’d build on that in Manchester.

If Partner is your ambition, the firm is open to discussing your track record, what you want to build and what progression could look like.

Get in touch for a confidential conversation about the Manchester team, the origination support and the scope of the role.
