M&A Manager

The M&A Manager drives pipeline growth, converts opportunities into mandates, and leads the execution of mid-market transactions. Reporting to the Head of M&A, you’ll manage an M&A Executive, work closely with debt advisory and marketing, and act as a trusted point of contact for clients, buyers, and funders.

What you’ll do

  • Win work: deliver pitches, run growth-strategy workshops, and position yourself as a key member of the deal team.
  • Manage deals end-to-end: coordinate clients, buyers, lenders, and advisers; run negotiations; maintain momentum across all workstreams.
  • Build relationships: develop a strong network across legal, tax, lenders, investors, and intermediaries.
  • Produce high-quality outputs: IMs, management presentations, valuations, financial models, market analysis, and buyer lists.
  • Lead DD: set up and manage virtual data rooms, control information flow, and support clients through commercial and legal processes.
  • Drive BD: own a sector, generate insight-led content, support marketing, and represent the firm at industry events.

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.
