• Managing due diligence and transaction execution.
• Working closely with senior leadership, investors and external advisers.
• Supporting post-acquisition integration and helping shape long-term growth strategy.

Who we’re looking for:

• Top-performing professionals currently in Investment Banking, Big 4 Deals/Transaction Services/Lead Advisory, or Strategy Consulting.
• Strong financial modelling, analytical and commercial skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
• A genuine ambition to build a career in corporate development and M&A within industry.
• Individuals who thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments and want to make a tangible impact.

What’s on offer:

• The opportunity to work at the heart of a high growth, PE-backed technology business.
• Significant exposure to senior executives, investors and complex M&A transactions.
• A genuine platform for rapid career progression as the business continues its ambitious growth journey.
