The Company
Our client is a fast-growing global business and technology consulting firm with an established international footprint and an expanding London presence. The firm advises corporate and private equity clients across the full transaction lifecycle and is known for its collaborative, entrepreneurial culture and multidisciplinary approach to M&A.
The Role
The firm’s Mergers & Acquisitions practice is seeking a Director to join its rapidly growing London office. In this leadership role, you will work with corporate and private equity clients across the transaction lifecycle — from buy-side due diligence and sell-side readiness through carve-outs, merger integrations, separations, and post-close value creation initiatives.
As a Director, you will balance three core responsibilities: growing client relationships, leading complex engagements, and helping build the firm’s M&A practice in the UK. You will play an integral role in shaping the London office through recruiting, mentoring, practice development, and contributing to an entrepreneurial culture, working alongside a team of experienced M&A professionals.
Key Responsibilities
Business Development
- Develop and expand executive relationships with corporate clients, private equity firms, portfolio companies, and strategic buyers.
- Lead business development efforts, including originating opportunities, qualifying pursuits, developing proposals, pricing engagements, and negotiating statements of work.
- Identify opportunities to expand existing client relationships through additional M&A, operational improvement, and value creation services.
- Understand client investment priorities and translate those objectives into actionable consulting engagements.
- Represent the firm in the UK market through networking, industry events, conferences, and thought leadership.
- Collaborate across practices to bring integrated solutions to clients throughout the deal lifecycle.
