Job Description:
SJC Partners is currently managing the recruitment process for the hire of an Acquisition Search Director into an innovative mergers and acquisitions deal sourcing business.
Our client specializes in sourcing off-market businesses for acquisition by private equity investors, PE-backed companies, listed businesses, and some private companies.
Businesses wishing to acquire or invest in other businesses engage our client to conduct a bespoke acquisition search process, uncovering target businesses within their specific criteria and facilitating introductions. Companies rely on our client to have thorough commercial conversations with business owners, quickly understanding different business models and building trust with target businesses.
The successful candidate will take responsibility for end-to-end client management, including:
* Agreeing on the scope of the acquisition search with clients at the board level.
* Liaising with the research team to identify businesses within the client’s search criteria. The research will be performed by an in-house team.
* Approaching shareholders of target businesses and engaging in detailed, highly commercial conversations via video call about their business model, track record, growth, financials, and owner’s selling aspirations.
* Discussing each interested business with the client and facilitating meetings with selected targets.
* Managing the acquisition process relationship thereafter, requiring strong commercial acumen.
Applicants should be able to quickly understand various business models. Experience at the board level is important, as the role involves managing relationships with owner/CEO level stakeholders, including large corporates, private equity, and private equity-backed businesses.
Applicants from diverse commercial backgrounds will be considered, including those who have run their own businesses or operated at director level.
The role offers a competitive salary with an attractive, transparent bonus structure paid multiple times per year, based on deal activity. Bonuses are uncapped, with potential earnings of 100% of salary or more in a good year.
