Job description

Corporate Finance Director/Senior Director

£90k to £125k base + strong bonus/upside + clear route to Partner

Most routes to Partner ask you to wait your turn.

This one asks you to build something.

This is a chance to take the lead in Manchester, shape the regional strategy and build your case for Partner through your own results, not somebody else’s timetable.

You’ll help shape and lead a new presence across the North West, with the backing, resource and credibility of an established lower mid-market Corporate Finance platform.

You will have:

• Real influence 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
• A clear route into Partner and potential equity participation

This is not a title attached to an empty office and an unrealistic first year target.

The firm understands that relationships, mandates and completed deals take time. You won’t be expected to arrive with a mature Partner book or manufacture revenue overnight.

What matters is that you can lead credible transactions, build senior relationships across Manchester and the North West, and see the opportunity to put your name on a regional Corporate Finance business.

This will suit someone who:

• Has strong lower mid-market Corporate Finance experience
• Can lead transactions from origination through to completion
• Has credible relationships across Manchester and the North West
• Has worked on deals ideally in the £20m to £50m range
• Wants greater influence over strategy, team and market positioning
• Is ready to turn Partner potential into a defined opportunity

You could be an established Senior Director, an experienced Director ready for greater ownership, or someone already operating close to Partner without the title.
