M&A Partner Edinburgh £200k+ base salary, day one equity and bonus
You’re winning work.
You’re trusted by business owners.
You know the lower mid-market.
But the upside probably still feels too diluted.
Maybe you’re carrying more than your share of origination.
Maybe the platform is too slow, too political or too reliant on your own network.
Maybe you can see the opportunity in Edinburgh, but your current firm is not set up to help you build it.
This is about changing that.
We’re working with an international M&A advisory platform looking to back a proven dealmaker to build and lead a new office in Edinburgh.
This is not a “bring your book and hope for the best” Partner role.
The infrastructure is already there: marketing, lead generation, buyer reach, operational support and execution capability.
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.

This will not suit someone who is mainly execution-led.
It will not suit someone whose experience is mostly large-cap, institutional or process-heavy.
It will not suit someone who wants the platform to do all the heavy lifting.
But if you know how to win mandates, advise business owners and build trusted lower mid-market relationships, this is a serious alternative.
If you are an experienced M&A advisor in Edinburgh and would be open to a confidential conversation, get in touch.
