Job description

Corporate Finance Partner

£120k to £150k base + strong bonus/upside + potential equity

Most Corporate Finance build roles are just a target dressed up as an opportunity.

You are given a title, an empty office and a number to hit.

This isn’t that.

This opportunity comes with a credible lower mid-market platform, established execution resource and a realistic view of how long it takes to build properly.

This is a chance to build and lead a Manchester Corporate Finance business without having to build the platform beneath it.

You’ll have

• Control over the Manchester strategy
• Support from an established Midlands Corporate Finance team
• Junior and execution resource from day one
• Average deal values around £20m
• A strong national and international proposition
• Meaningful performance related upside
• Potential equity participation

There is no expectation that you arrive and immediately produce a mature Partner number.

The firm understands that relationships, mandates and completed deals take time. The plan will be built sensibly around your network, pipeline and what is genuinely achievable.

There is also flexibility for someone bringing a team, an established pipeline or a meaningful book of work.

This will suit someone who

• Has credible lower mid-market CF experience
• Can originate work across Manchester and the North West
• Has led meaningful transactions, ideally in the £20m to £50m range
• Wants to shape and lead a new regional presence
• Is already operating at Partner level or is ready to step up
• Wants the freedom to build without taking on the risk of starting alone
