Job Title: Head of Corporate Development
Our client is a private equity-backed B2B business seeking an experienced Head of Corporate Development to lead strategic transactions during a period of significant growth and transformation. This role is a 12-month Fixed-Term Contract (FTC) to cover a period of leave.
About the Role
This is a high-impact role with responsibility for end-to-end buy-side and sell-side M&A activity, from opportunity identification and evaluation through execution, integration, separation planning, and stakeholder management.

Sector Background
Sector background is flexible; however, we are seeking individuals with a strong track record of delivering complex transactions and funding initiatives in fast-paced, commercially driven environments.
Important Note
Please note: Candidates without demonstrable end-to-end transaction experience across both buy-side and sell-side mandates, ideally gained within a leading advisory environment and/or corporate development function, will not be considered.
