An exceptional opportunity has opened up for an experienced Transaction Services Director to join a thriving practice with a genuine, accelerated route to Partner.
The Opportunity:
This isn't just another Director role. You'll be second-in-command to the Partner, helping to lead a team of around 20 and playing a pivotal role in executing the firm's ambitious 5-year growth plan. The practice largely focuses on buy-side transactions for leading London PE houses, strategic buyers, banks, and financial investors. There's also a significant opportunity to develop and expand the sell-side offering. While sector-agnostic, they've built deep expertise in tech-enabled and people-led businesses, with impressive international reach.
What Makes This Role Different?
They're looking for a strong executor who either has origination capabilities or is hungry to develop them. Perhaps you're already bringing in work but not getting the recognition or support you deserve? Or maybe you've been too focused on delivery to build your own network? Either way, the Partner is committed to actively developing your origination skills alongside their own thriving client base. You'll have the opportunity to build your own book whilst being properly supported and recognised for it.
Day-to-Day:
* Leading complex buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence engagements
* Shaping the strategic direction and growth of the practice
* Driving business development – both executing deals and building your profile
* Managing and mentoring junior team members as part of the broader leadership team
What You'll Bring:
* 8+ years in transaction services (FDD and VDD) within professional services
* Proven ability to originate and develop client relationships (or genuine appetite to build this)
* Strong lower-mid-market experience working with owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs, and SMEs
* ACA / ACCA qualified (or equivalent)
This firm stands out for its strong growth trajectory and people retention – their culture genuinely drives their success. You'll be joining at exactly the right moment to make your mark, with a Partner who's committed to your development and a clear pathway to partnership.
