Corporate Finance and M&A Managing Director

Location: UK - flexible location Travel: UK and international as required Compensation: Exceptional package reflecting seniority, sector standing and commercial impact Build Around Your Sector Join an ambitious, internationally connected corporate finance platform looking to add senior sector expertise to its growing M&A capability. This opportunity is deliberately broad: the focus is less on a predetermined vertical and more on identifying an established mid-market M&A adviser who brings genuine sector credibility, relationships and a new route to market. What You'll Be Doing

• Develop M&A coverage within a sector where you already have strong market credibility and relationships.
• Originate mid-market M&A and wider advisory opportunities through relationships with business owners, management teams, private equity investors and corporates.
• Lead M&A engagements from origination and senior client engagement through to execution.
• Build a sector proposition around your existing strengths and identify opportunities the business is not currently capturing.
• Collaborate with specialists nationally and internationally to convert relationships into opportunities across the wider advisory platform. What You'll Bring
• Strong UK mid-market corporate finance / M&A advisory experience at Director, Managing Director or equivalent level.
• Deep expertise and established senior relationships within a clearly defined sector.
• A demonstrable ability to originate and win M&A mandates and generate meaningful fee income through your own relationships.
• A sector specialism that can add complementary coverage and create new routes to market.
• Commercial range to identify opportunities beyond M&A and connect clients with wider advisory capabilities. Who This Suits You're an established mid-market corporate finance adviser with genuine depth in a sector and a network you know how to convert into mandates. You may already be an MD or Partner, or a high-performing Director ready to step up. The opportunity is suited to someone who wants the freedom to build around their sector strengths rather than inherit a narrowly prescribed coverage remit.
