Corporate Finance Director, Path to Partner
Manchester / North West
You’re probably already doing parts of the Partner role.
Managing relationships
Driving revenue.
But still waiting for someone else to decide when you’re ready for the title and economics that go with it.
An established independent corporate finance adviser is actively looking at Manchester/North West expansion and is open to commercially credible Directors who are already operating at Partner level in all but name.
This is not a heavily layered corporate structure.
It’s an entrepreneurial lower mid-market M&A platform for people who want more ownership, more autonomy and a clearer link between performance and reward.
The opportunity is less about inheriting a mature office and more about helping shape a North West presence with backing from an established national firm.
What stands out
* Genuine route into Partner-level responsibility and earnings
* Significant autonomy and regional ownership
* Established national platform and transaction track record
* Strong alignment between origination and reward
* Future equity opportunity
* Open-minded around ambitious, commercially capable profiles
Headline structure
* Base draw likely between £100k–£200k
* 30% of fees generated above 3x draw
* Equity expected after 2–3 years
Likely fit
* Origination-led Directors ready to step up
* Lower/mid-market M&A professionals with strong regional networks
* Commercially driven advisers comfortable owning a number
* Individuals frustrated by slow internal progression or diluted economics
Less suited to pure execution profiles or candidates reliant on larger institutional platforms for deal flow.
