Job description

United Fintech is growing rapidly as we continue to transform the fintech landscape by uniting innovative capital markets solutions under one roof. This role puts you at the centre of our business and strategy, with significant influence on our growth. Your primary focus will be to drive our M&A workstream, from deal sourcing through to execution, and fundraising from some of the biggest names in finance. The role also involves Board and investor liaison, working closely with the Founder and CEO to grow United Fintech and shape the future of global financial technology.

We leverage technology and digital systems to automate everything we do — including M&A — creating a structured, scalable foundation for acquisitions and rapid growth. You will have a major impact by shortening acquisition cycles and accelerating growth. People development is also a key part of your role, as you will initially have one analyst on your team.

We’re looking for someone who can lead multiple M&A tracks simultaneously. We think big and ahead – how will you build the foundation for identifying, assessing, and acquiring multiple companies annually, while also managing fundraising and shareholder relations? This requires a strategic, analytical leader who can synthesise complex data and enable high-quality decisions.

At United Fintech, we embrace new challenges with innovation, aiming to reshape finance through technology. We move fast – identifying, acquiring, and scaling businesses with ambition and optimism. With a blend of cultures across offices in the US, Asia, and Europe, we offer a unique, exciting workplace where everyone can grow and contribute to ongoing improvement and excellence.

Key responsibilities

• Source and manage the deal pipeline, identifying and analysing potential targets
• Prioritise targets in collaboration with the Management team using a strategic approach
• Execute transactions, including coordinating due diligence and contract negotiations
• Produce decision-making recommendations and supporting analysis for Board/Investors
• Source, coordinate, and execute funding rounds for new investments and growth
• Lead due diligence processes across all key areas with structure and efficiency
• Prepare Board, shareholder, and investor documents, including structured presentations
• Build and maintain relationships with global equity and debt providers
• Manage internal and external stakeholders with strong coordination and communication

Role requirements

• Hands-on M&A expertise from sourcing to execution
• At least 5 years’ experience at a top tier bank.
• Experience managing capital raises – both debt and equity
• Strategic mindset with ability to identify multi-investment opportunities
• Strong understanding of global fintech trends and value drivers
• Execution-oriented, entrepreneurial, and a self-starter
• Skilled at handling multiple tasks through coordinated effort
• Passionate about structure, automation, and eliminating manual work
• Experience in B2B SaaS or rapid scale-up environments preferred
• Strong analytical skills with a focus on process improvement and efficiency

What’s in it for you?

• The chance to become an integral part of United Fintech’s journey, where your analytical acumen, strategic foresight, and passion for continual improvement will be truly valued.
• Have a direct and measurable impact on the success of United Fintech through structured, data-informed decision-making and high-quality execution.
• An opportunity to work closely with some of the most entrepreneurial minds and experienced individuals shaping the future of global financial technology – ideal for someone with a curious, inquiring mind who enjoys constant learning.
• Freedom and flexibility to work and achieve your goals, both privately and professionally, while leveraging your organisational and coordinating strengths.
• A cool office, pension, health insurance, lunch, and of course plenty of social events and Friday bars.
