Job description

Are you an experienced Corporate Finance professional with a strong background in transaction and project delivery? Do you have the leadership skills to drive a team while managing a high volume of M&A transactions? This is an exciting opportunity for someone who aspires to step into a senior leadership role.

About the Role:

As a Senior Manager / Manager within our Corporate Finance team, you will be at the forefront of delivering high-quality M&A transactions, working across multiple mandates at once. This role offers the unique opportunity to manage relationships with clients, lead projects, and drive the performance of a team while maintaining a hands-on approach to transaction execution.

You will be part of the busiest M&A advisory team in Wales, which handles more transactions than any other team in the region. We pride ourselves on working with high-quality clients, delivering a significant volume of transactions, and ensuring the highest standards of service. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment while having a clear pathway to senior leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead M&A transactions across the full cycle, including selling, acquiring, or raising investment.
• Manage client relationships, ensuring excellent service and effective project delivery.
• Work closely with team members to provide ongoing support during the onboarding phase and throughout the project lifecycle.
• Drive team performance, ensuring smooth project delivery across multiple transactions.
• Oversee transaction execution, coordinating with clients, stakeholders, and internal teams.
• Contribute to business development activities, though the business generates its own leads (additional portfolio is a plus but not a requirement).
• Be a hands-on leader, actively involved in all aspects of transaction delivery.

What We're Looking For:

• A Manager or Senior Manager from a Corporate Finance background with proven experience in transaction delivery and M&A.
• Experience managing and delivering complex M&A projects and transactions.
• Strong client relationship management and communication skills.
• A proactive, driven, and solution-oriented approach with the ability to lead teams and manage multiple priorities.
• Aspiration to grow into a senior leadership position and take on more responsibility within the firm.
• Ability to handle a high volume of work and maintain exceptional attention to detail.

What's in it for You:

• Join the leading M&A advisory team in Wales, known for delivering high-quality and high-volume transactions.
• Work in a collaborative, supportive environment with a team that offers guidance and mentorship.
• A clear career progression path leading to senior leadership.
• Opportunity to work across a wide range of mandates, including mergers, acquisitions, and investment raising.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
