About the Role

SF Partners are working exclusively with a high-growth technology business that is scaling through acquisition. The business is looking to expand its recurring revenue portfolio by acquiring complementary managed services businesses across the UK.

They're looking for an experienced Interim Head of M&A to lead the full deal lifecycle—from identifying and engaging acquisition targets through to negotiation, completion and integration. Working alongside the executive leadership team, you'll play a pivotal role in delivering the company's growth ambitions.

  • Lead the end-to-end M&A process across multiple acquisitions.
  • Build and manage a high-quality acquisition pipeline.
  • Identify, evaluate and negotiate strategic acquisition opportunities.
  • Lead financial and commercial due diligence, valuations and deal structuring.
  • Partner with Finance, Legal and senior stakeholders to deliver successful transactions.
  • Support post-deal integration to maximise value and accelerate growth.

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.
