We are partnering with a PE-backed international financial services business embarking on a highly ambitious acquisition programme.
With significant capital to deploy and a robust pipeline of opportunities, the business is entering a critical phase of its growth journey and is seeking an experienced Interim M&A Director to accelerate transaction activity and help deliver a transformational buy-and-build strategy.
Reporting directly to the CFO and working closely with the CEO, Board and private equity investors, you will provide immediate leadership across the deal lifecycle, driving execution across a highly active deal pipeline. This is a delivery-focused mandate where success will be measured by transactions completed, integrations executed and value creation achieved.
