Job description

Corporate Finance Origination

£80,000 to £100,000 base plus bonus

Glasgow or Edinburgh

Open the conversations that lead to Scotland’s next M&A mandates, with an established client and referral network behind you.

A growing national Deal Advisory business is building its Corporate Finance presence in Scotland. You’ll have two ways to build a pipeline from day one. You’ll work with accountancy and advisory colleagues who already know local business owners, and you’ll develop opportunities directly through your own relationships across the Scottish market.

You’ll work alongside the Scottish Corporate Finance Partner, with dedicated research and origination support and a deal team that can pitch for and deliver the mandates you help win.

Why make the move?

If opening doors and creating opportunities is the part of your job you enjoy most, this is a chance to make it your main remit. You’ll have a say in where the firm focuses in Scotland, which relationships it develops and which opportunities it pursues. And when you spot a business owner thinking about a sale, acquisition or investment, you’ll have Corporate Finance specialists to bring into the conversation and the scope to stay involved through to mandate.

What you’ll do

• Build direct relationships with Scottish business owners, lawyers, lenders, investors and other professional introducers.
• Work with accountancy and advisory colleagues to identify clients who may be approaching a transaction.
• Open conversations, qualify opportunities and bring the right advisers in at the right time.
• Stay close to opportunities as they develop from first conversation or introduction through to pitch and mandate.
• Work with the Scottish Partner and central origination team to focus research and outreach where it can generate the strongest opportunities.

Who it could suit

You may already originate work in Corporate Finance or Deal Advisory. You could also come from the legal sector or another advisory environment where you’ve built relationships with Scottish business owners and their advisers and used them to generate new work.

The level is flexible. What matters is being able to talk through an opportunity you personally opened, how you moved it forward and what came of it. That could be an M&A opportunity, a referral that became an advisory mandate or a new client engagement you helped win.

Get in touch for a confidential conversation about the Scottish market, the team behind the role and what you could build.
