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 conduct thorough commercial conversations with business owners, understanding different business models and building trust with target businesses.
The successful candidate will be responsible for end-to-end client management, including:
1. Agreeing the scope of the acquisition search with clients at board level.
2. Liaising with the research team to identify businesses within the client’s search criteria. The research will be performed by an in-house team.
3. Approaching majority shareholders of target businesses and holding detailed, highly commercial video calls to discuss their business models, track records, growth plans, financials, and owners' selling aspirations.
4. Discussing potential targets with the client and facilitating introductions to selected businesses.
5. Managing the acquisition process relationship thereafter, requiring strong commercial understanding.
Applicants should be quick to understand different business models and have experience operating at board level, as managing client relationships at owner/CEO level is essential, often involving large corporates, private equity, and private equity-backed firms.
Applicants from a range of commercial backgrounds will be considered, including those who have run their own businesses or operated at Director level.
This role offers a competitive salary and 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.
