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 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 be responsible for end-to-end client management, including:
* Agreeing the scope of the acquisition search with clients at board level.
* Liaising with the research team to identify businesses within the client’s search criteria. The research will be conducted by an in-house team, not the candidate.
* Approaching shareholders of target businesses and conducting detailed, highly commercial conversations via video call about their business model, track record, growth, financials, and owner’s selling aspirations.
* Discussing potential targets with clients and facilitating introductions.
* Managing the acquisition process thereafter, requiring strong commercial acumen but not financial qualifications.
Applicants should be able to understand various business models and have experience operating at board level, given the need to manage client relationships with owners, CEOs, large corporates, private equity, and backed businesses.
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 scheme paid multiple times a year, based on deal activity. Bonuses are uncapped, and in a good year, can amount to 100% of the salary or more.
