Job description

£150-£200k plus bonus and wider Partner package

Take an established Midlands M&A team and turn it into a leading Birmingham Corporate Finance business.

The people, client base and origination infrastructure are already there. What is missing is the senior dealmaker who can bring it together and lead the next stage of growth.

There is already a five person M&A team, with plans to move the business from Solihull into Birmingham city centre.

Around them sits a growing, PE-backed accountancy and advisory group, an SME client base and strong internal referrals. The central research and origination capability alone is comparable to the support of another seven person regional team.

That changes the nature of the role. You can focus on building relationships, winning work and leading deals, rather than spending the first year recruiting an entire team or creating every opportunity yourself.

The role

• Lead and shape the Birmingham and Midlands Corporate Finance business
• Originate and lead sales, acquisitions, MBOs, PE investments and fundraising mandates
• Turn existing client and adviser relationships into live opportunities
• Lead and develop the M&A team already in place
• Use the wider national Deal Advisory business to bring more capability into the region

Who this could suit

You may already be an established Corporate Finance Partner who wants more freedom, investment and influence over how the business develops.

You could also be a successful Director or Managing Director ready to take ownership of a regional team and make the move into Partnership.

You will need proper end-to-end M&A experience, strong Midlands relationships and a track record of winning work as well as delivering it.

A portable book would help, but it is not essential. The team, client base, internal referrals and origination support are already there.

What is already in place

• A four to five-person M&A team
• A move into Birmingham city centre
• Significant research and origination support
• An extensive owner-managed and SME client base
• Investment to grow the team further

The foundations are already in place. This is the chance to lead the next stage and build one of the strongest Corporate Finance teams in the Midlands.
