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 specializes 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 specific criteria and facilitating introductions. The client conducts thorough commercial conversations with business owners to understand different business models and build trust.
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 search criteria (research will be performed by an in-house team).
* Approaching majority shareholders and conducting detailed, commercial discussions via video calls about their business models, financials, growth, and selling aspirations.
* Discussing potential targets with clients and facilitating introductions.
* Managing the acquisition process relationships post-introduction (requires commercial acumen but not financial qualifications).
Applicants should be able to quickly understand various business models. Experience at the board level is important as you will manage relationships with owners/CEOs, often within large corporates, private equity, or 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 a year based on deal activity. The bonus is uncapped, with potential earnings of 100% of salary or more in a good year.
