Job description

Partner / Director, Transaction Services – London, UK

Award Winning Independent Advisory Firm | Growth Phase | Transactions Driven

An ambitious, independent advisory firm is entering its next phase of growth and is seeking a Transaction Services leader to play a significant role in shaping the future of its Deals practice.

With a strong foundation already in place and a clear 5–10 year growth strategy, this is an opportunity for a senior dealmaker to join at a moment where influence, investment and expansion genuinely matter.

The Opportunity

• Join a 60 strong advisory firm, with Transaction Services representing around 70% of the business
• Work with an established Deals platform currently focused on mid-market deals across PE and growth oriented Corporates.
• Partner with a leadership team committed to:
• Selective Partner hiring (c.6–7 additions planned over the next 12–18 months)
• Launching a Valuations capability to complement Transactions, Corporate Finance, Transformation & Turnaround and wider Value Creation capability
• Expanding internationally via a well-embedded global network (existing footprint across France, Germany and the Nordics, with planned expansion into Spain, Italy and Dubai)
• Genuine opportunity to shape strategy, hiring and service line development rather than inherit a fixed model

The firm already operates successfully across the Regions and London, with appetite to strengthen its presence in the capital where the right individual and relationships exist.

Who This Will Suit

• A Transaction Services Partner or Director in a mid-market or larger firm
• Commercially minded, with strong PE, corporate finance and adviser relationships
• Entrepreneurial in outlook — motivated by building, not just maintaining
• Interested in a platform where growth, autonomy and equity upside are aligned

This role may particularly appeal if:

• Your current firm’s growth has slowed or become overly constrained
• You’re seeking greater influence over direction, hiring and client strategy
• You want to be part of a partner group that is intentionally evolving, not static

Why This Role Is Different

-This is not a replacement hire!

-It is part of a deliberate transition into the next chapter of the business.

-The firm is investing ahead of growth, anticipating both opportunity and organic change creating space for the next generation of Partners to leave a lasting imprint.
