Experienced M&A Transactions Manager
We are looking for an experienced M&A transactions manager to join a real estate business on a 6-month FTC or day rate. This candidate is responsible for the day-to-day ownership and delivery of transaction processes across buy-side, sell-side, and financing/refinancing workstreams. The role involves regular reporting to Senior Management with clear updates on live transactions and financings. It also requires ongoing liaison with partners, brokers, legal advisors, due diligence providers, and other deal counterparties. The position demands the ability to quickly get up to speed on transactions and deliver effectively from the outset.
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.
