Job description

If you're boxed in, under-visible or ready for more influence, this is the kind of move that should be worth a conversation.

You've built relationships, won work and led deals.

Now you want a bigger platform behind you, and a genuine role in shaping growth in Birmingham. A growing advisory business is looking for a senior Corporate Finance hire who wants to play a visible role in building a stronger Birmingham presence.

This is not a maintenance role or a narrow execution seat. It is for someone who wants to be close to the market, visible with clients and genuinely involved in shaping growth.

You might already be operating at Partner level, or you might be a Director/Senior Director ready for a bigger mandate.

What matters is that you can originate or help originate work, lead lower mid-market transactions and build trusted relationships with business owners, management teams, funders, private equity investors and the wider adviser market.

The work will focus on lower mid-market Corporate Finance and lead advisory, typically across business sales, acquisitions, MBOs, growth capital and strategic advisory mandates.

You will be close to the market, close to clients and visible across Birmingham and the wider Midlands.

You will probably bring experience across:

• Business sales and acquisitions
• MBOs and private equity-backed transactions
• Lower mid-market M&A
• Deal origination and relationship development
• Lead advisory project management
• Shareholder and management team advisory
• Working with lawyers, funders, PE and wider advisers
• Building or helping grow a Corporate Finance team or market presence

This would suit someone who has already built credibility in the Midlands Corporate Finance market and now wants more influence, more visibility and more room to grow.

You do not need to arrive with everything fully built.

You do need to bring energy, commercial confidence, deal experience and the appetite to help shape something properly.
