Turn Your Business Services Network Into Something Bigger
Join an ambitious, internationally connected corporate finance platform where sector expertise carries real weight. This is an opportunity to broaden an established Business Services capability, originate mid-market M&A mandates and use your relationships to generate opportunities across a wider advisory platform.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Expand Business Services coverage, developing complementary sector depth beyond the areas already well covered by the team.
- Originate mid-market M&A and wider advisory opportunities through established relationships with business owners, management teams, private equity investors and corporates.
- Lead M&A engagements from origination and senior client engagement through to execution.
- Build long-term relationships across your strongest Business Services verticals and convert those relationships into mandates.
- Collaborate nationally and internationally to create opportunities across multiple service lines.
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.
What You’ll Bring
- Strong UK mid-market corporate finance / M&A advisory experience at Director, Managing Director or equivalent level.
- Deep Business Services expertise with an established network of business owners, corporates, private equity investors and senior industry decision-makers.
- A demonstrable ability to originate and win M&A mandates and generate meaningful fee opportunities, rather than operating predominantly in an execution capacity.
- Strong sector credibility and the ability to develop senior client relationships over the long term.
- Commercial range to identify opportunities beyond M&A and connect clients with wider advisory capabilities.
