Designer - Financial Services
M&A Advisory firm operating across the technology, data, consulting and media sectors
Location: London
Type: Full-time
Role Overview
SI Global is a M&A advisory firm looking for a Designer to join our team. This role involves working at all stages of our processes – from marketing and pitch preparation, through to creation of detailed information memorandums – as well as internal materials - and sits at the heart of how we present ourselves and our clients to the world.
This is a senior, largely autonomous role suited to a designer with strong financial services or professional services experience, who understands the pace, confidentiality, and precision required when producing deal-related materials such as CIMs and pitch decks. You'll need to be equally comfortable with the rigour of financial and transaction documentation, as with brand marketing work.
This role is based in Covent Garden, with 3-4 days a week in the office.
Key Responsibilities
Documentation for M&A Projects
- Maintain and build out the templates and asset library for pitch and deal materials
- Rebuild and modernise existing templates to reflect current brand and best practice
- Re-envisage and elevate key slides within pitch decks for live deal processes
- Design charts and data visualisations for CIMs, pitches, and other documents
- Own end-to-end design and layout of Confidential Information Memoranda (CIMs)
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.
