Are you working in Corporate Finance or Transaction Services and ready for a role where you can take genuine ownership of deals rather than simply owning one small piece of the process?

A leading UK advisory firm is continuing to grow its Corporate Finance presence across the North-West and is looking to appoint at Manager or Associate Director level, with the flexibility to be based in either Manchester or Liverpool.

This is a hands-on lead advisory opportunity, working closely with Partners and Directors across live transactions from start to finish. You'll have plenty of client exposure, responsibility for driving deals forward and the opportunity to build your own profile within the North West dealmaking community.

Corporate Finance Manager / Associate Director Responsibilities:

  • Lead the day-to-day execution of Corporate Finance transactions, working closely with Partners and Directors
  • Manage transaction timetables and take ownership of key workstreams throughout the deal process
  • Work directly with business owners, management teams, investors and other stakeholders
  • Prepare and review business plans, information memoranda and financial forecasts
  • Analyse businesses, financial information and potential deal structures
  • Research and identify potential buyers, investors and acquisition targets
  • Manage the exchange of information with potential buyers and other parties throughout a transaction
  • Identify potential issues within deals and work with senior colleagues and clients to develop solutions
  • Support and increasingly take ownership of pitches, proposals and business development activity
  • Develop your network across the North West Corporate Finance market
  • Identify potential new clients and opportunities for the team
  • Supervise, coach and develop junior members of the Corporate Finance team

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.
