Partner or Director – Consumer Sector M&A Advisory
About the Company
Join a highly respected boutique investment bank, known for its deep expertise in the UK Consumer sector. The firm partners with blue-chip clients and delivers exceptional results on small to mid-sized transactions, with a strong emphasis on sell-side mandates. Exceptional growth and a focus on succession planning mean the team is now looking to appoint a new senior leader—either as a direct-entry Partner or a Director on the path to Partnership.
The Opportunity
As a key member of the senior team, you will:
- Drive deal origination, leveraging your network to generate both buy- and sell-side mandates.
- Oversee rigorous, efficient execution, engaging fully throughout each transaction process.
- Lead business development efforts, deepening the firm’s presence and reputation in the Consumer sector.
- Develop and empower a high-performing team, coaching colleagues and building delivery capability.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with intermediaries, advisors, and blue-chip clients.
- Play a central role in firmwide decision-making, shaping the team’s direction and ongoing success.
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.
