The Role

Robertson Wright is working with a specialist independent M&A advisory firm looking to appoint an experienced Manager or Associate Director to its London team.

This is a hands-on execution role for someone who can take ownership of transactions and act as the engine room of the deal team. You will work closely with the firm’s Partners, clients, and junior bankers across live buy-side and sell-side mandates.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the day-to-day execution of M&A transactions from initial preparation through to completion
  • Manage financial analysis, valuation work, transaction materials, and due diligence processes
  • Coordinate clients, buyers, investors, and external advisers throughout a transaction
  • Delegate effectively to Analysts and review their work
  • Develop junior team members through active coaching and supervision
  • Identify key issues early and keep transactions moving against demanding timetables
  • Support Partners with pitches, client development, and new mandate preparation

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.
