We are partnering with a growing boutique deal advisory firm to hire an experienced Technology M&A professional to help lead and develop its Technology M&A capability.
This is not a technology-sector investment banking role. Backgrounds from Big 4 Technology M&A, Integration & Separation, Operational Transaction Services or similar environments are particularly relevant.
We're looking for someone who has genuinely led technology workstreams across transactions - owning the analysis, shaping recommendations and acting as the technology lead throughout the deal lifecycle.
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.
