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 in the process, 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. Note: you will not perform the research yourself, as this is handled by an in-house research team.
* Approaching major shareholders of target businesses and conducting detailed, highly commercial conversations via video call about their business models, financials, growth, and owner’s selling aspirations.
* Discussing each interested business with the client and facilitating introductions to selected targets.
* Managing the acquisition process relationship thereafter, requiring strong commercial acumen but not financial qualifications.
Applicants should be able to quickly understand various business models. Experience operating at board level is important, as you will manage client relationships with owner/CEO level contacts, often involving large corporates, private equity, and PE-backed businesses.
This role considers candidates from diverse commercial backgrounds. The current team includes individuals who have run their own businesses or operated at Director level.
The position offers a competitive salary plus an attractive, transparent bonus structure, paid multiple times a year based on deal activity. The bonus is uncapped, with potential earnings of 100% of the salary or more in a good year.
