Head of Mergers & Acquisitions

Location: Midlands
Salary: Up to £90k + Bonus + Benefits

We're partnering with a growing, technology-focused infrastructure business to recruit a Head of Mergers & Acquisitions. Reporting to the CFO, this is a high-impact opportunity to lead the full acquisition lifecycle, driving an ambitious buy-and-build strategy focused on UK technology and environmental businesses.

This is a hands-on role where you'll take ownership of deal origination, financial modelling, valuation, negotiation, due diligence, and post-acquisition integration, with responsibility for delivering multiple acquisitions each year.

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.
