Employment Type: Permanent
Location: London
Salary Guide: £100,000 - £110,000 + Bonus
Our client is a high-growth advisory firm specialising in M&A and strategic transactions for ambitious founder-led and corporate businesses. With a strong and growing pipeline of mandates, the firm is continuing to invest in its M&A capability and is now looking to appoint a couple of Associate Directors to support both deal delivery and the continued growth of the practice.
Description
These roles will sit close to the Partners and play an important part in supporting them as they manage and scale the business. The successful candidate will work across the full lifecycle of buy-side and sell-side transactions, engaging directly with shareholders, management teams, and senior stakeholders, while also contributing to the development of the firm’s M&A platform as it continues to expand.
The roles offer a balance of execution and leadership. You will lead transaction workstreams, oversee financial modelling and valuations, and take responsibility for the preparation of high-quality client materials. You will be supported by Analysts within the firm, allowing you to focus on higher-value activities, client interaction, and deal progression. You will also work alongside the Partners in managing junior team members, coordinating external advisers, and driving mandates through to completion.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Skills
Candidates for these Associate Director roles are expected to be operating at Senior Manager or Associate Director level within M&A, corporate finance, or transaction advisory, with strong technical capability and the commercial judgement required to operate effectively in a client-facing advisory role. Experience advising technology-enabled or high-growth businesses would be advantageous, though not essential. A collaborative mindset, strong communication skills, and a genuine interest in helping build a growing advisory business will be key.
This opportunity is well suited to an M&A professional seeking increased responsibility, closer exposure to Partners and decision-making, and a clear progression path within a firm where growth, autonomy, and long-term development are actively encouraged.
