We have been retained by a scaling Private Equity-backed B2B Distribution business who are seeking a Group M&A Director as they continue to scale throughout Europe.

The Opportunity

As Head of M&A, you will take ownership of the end-to-end acquisitions process, shaping the company's growth strategy through targeted acquisitions. From identifying and engaging prospective targets to leading transactions, supporting integration, and driving value creation, you will play a pivotal role in the business's expansion journey.

Key Responsibilities

  • Source, evaluate, and maintain a robust pipeline of acquisition opportunities across European markets.
  • Cultivate relationships with founders, shareholders, and management teams of prospective target companies.
  • Drive deal origination efforts through proactive outreach, networking, and direct engagement.
  • Perform financial analysis, business valuation, and transaction modelling to assess opportunities.

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.
