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 their specific criteria and facilitating introductions. Companies rely on our client to conduct thorough commercial conversations with business owners, quickly understanding different business models, and building trust with target businesses.
The successful candidate will take responsibility 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 client’s search criteria. The research will be handled by an in-house team.
* Approaching major shareholders of target businesses and conducting detailed, highly commercial conversations via video call about their business models, financials, growth, and sale aspirations.
* Discussing potential targets with clients and facilitating introductions to interested businesses.
* Managing the acquisition process relationship thereafter, requiring strong commercial acumen.
Applicants should be able to understand various business models quickly. Experience operating at board level is important, as you will manage relationships with owners/CEOs, often involving large corporates, private equity, and private equity-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 structure, paid multiple times annually based on deal activity. The bonus is uncapped, and in a good year, bonuses can amount to 100% of the salary or more.
