Senior Manager - Integration & Separation
A growing deal advisory firm is looking to hire at Senior Manager-grade into its London office. This is a key senior hire within a fast-growing deals practice, supporting private equity and corporate clients across the full transaction life-cycle as they focus on driving operational performance and delivering value from complex transactions.
You will join a small, high-impact team that plays a central role within their M&A and deals offering. The team works across buy-side and sell-side transactions, as well as post-deal and transformation engagements, helping investors and management teams translate strategic priorities into executable plans and measurable value.
The Role
You will take a leading role in the delivery of complex integration and separation engagements, supporting clients through planning, execution and post-deal implementation activities.
Working closely with Partners and senior leadership, you will take ownership of client relationships and engagement delivery, helping clients navigate the operational, financial and organisational challenges associated with combining or separating businesses. You will provide senior-level oversight across multiple workstreams, bringing structure to complex situations and ensuring that recommendations translate into practical, executable outcomes.
The role combines strategic problem solving, senior stakeholder management and hands-on delivery, requiring the ability to operate effectively in fast-paced and often ambiguous transaction environments.
Alongside client delivery, you will play an important role in the continued growth of the practice through business development, client origination, proposition development and the leadership and development of junior team members.
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.
