Associate Director, Corporate Finance | M&A Lead Advisory

Location: Birmingham

Future_find is partnering with a well-established UK corporate finance advisory practice to appoint an Associate Director into its Birmingham team.

This is a genuine step-up opportunity for an experienced deal-doer. You'd be joining a busy practice with a strong, active client base, which means real, live deal flow from day one rather than starting from a standing start. The focus is execution: leading lower-mid-market transactions (predominantly sell-side) through to completion, with the autonomy to run your own deals and an established senior team around you.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

Importantly, there's no expectation to arrive with a book of business. The remit is to be effective on live deals quickly, build your profile across the regional market over time, and progress toward Director and beyond as you do.

The Role

  • Lead and execute corporate finance transactions end-to-end, predominantly sell-side lead advisory.
  • Own the detail: IM drafting, financial analysis and valuation, due diligence, SPA and completion mechanics.
  • Run client and buyer/investor meetings, and manage the deal process and timetable.
  • Mentor and develop junior members of the team.
