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 specialises 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 undertake a bespoke acquisition search process, uncovering target businesses within their specific criteria and facilitating contact with these businesses. Companies rely on our client to conduct thorough commercial conversations with business owners, quickly understanding different business models, and building trust with target businesses.
The successful candidate will be responsible for end-to-end client management, including:
* Agreeing 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. Note: research will be performed by an in-house team.
* Approaching major shareholders of target businesses and conducting detailed, highly commercial conversations via video call about their business models, financials, growth, and owners’ selling aspirations.
* Discussing each interested business with the client and arranging meetings with selected targets.
* Managing the acquisition process relationship thereafter (no financial qualifications required, but commercial acumen is essential).
Applicants should be able to quickly understand various business models. Experience operating at the board level is important, as the role involves managing relationships with owner/CEO level contacts, including large corporates, private equity, and private equity-backed firms.
Applicants from diverse commercial backgrounds will be considered, including those who have run their own businesses or operated at Director level.
This role offers a competitive salary with an attractive, transparent bonus structure, paid multiple times per year, based on deal activity. The bonus is uncapped, and in a successful year, bonuses can amount to 100% of the salary or more.
