SJC Partners is running the process for an innovative mergers and acquisitions research-led business. This business specialises in the sourcing of off-market acquisitions on behalf of ambitious corporates and private equity investors.
Acquisitive businesses and investors across the UK often struggle to find target businesses that meet their criteria and therefore our client’s business facilitates the search process to uncover appropriate targets before making introductions to these businesses. Our client works across all sectors and offers full UK coverage, sometimes broadening to international searches.
As a researcher, you will be responsible for understanding your client’s search criteria and managing the end-to-end market mapping exercise to find all relevant businesses within these criteria. Upon doing so, you will cross reference the company with a variety of advanced research tools to summarise key information, including financial data, staff numbers, office locations, service line or product information, details about the key people/ownership structure of the businesses and commentary on their business model.
This position is integral to the business and is the foundation upon which the business operates therefore applicants must have a strong research background with an excellent attention to detail, able to work quickly and on multiple projects concurrently.
