Job Description
M&A Deal Consultant
Location: Hemel Hempstead (remote-first)
Contract Opportunity circa 200k pa
A growing advisory business within the professional services market is looking to engage a commercially credible dealmaker to help drive and close high-value transactions.
This is a sales-led role focused on relationship management, negotiation, and guiding buyers and sellers through the M&A process. It is not a technical corporate finance or due diligence position. No spreadsheet archaeology.
The business is particularly interested in exited founders from the professional services sector who understand how to build trust with business owners and confidently manage commercial conversations. Individuals from other sectors with strong Sales, M&A or high ticket deal-closing experience will also be considered.
The Role
As an M&A Deal Consultant, you’ll be responsible for managing relationships and helping transactions progress from initial discussions through to completion.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading buyer and seller meetings throughout live transactions
* Managing commercial conversations and negotiations
* Building trust with founders and senior decision-makers
* Keeping deals moving and maintaining stakeholder engagement
* Working alongside legal and finance teams during transactions
* Acting as the commercial lead across active opportunities
This is a consultative sales role centred around communication, influence, and deal management rather than technical analysis.
What They’re Looking For
* Previous M&A, brokerage, or transaction sales experience
* Ideally an exited founder or senior commercial operator
* Strong relationship-building and negotiation skills
* Comfortable leading high-value conversations
* Credibility within the professional services market is advantageous
* Able to work remotely with occasional meetings around Hemel Hempstead
What’s On Offer
* Fully remote working flexibility
* Exposure to high-value transactions and business owners
* Genuine autonomy and influence
* Long-term contract potential
* Opportunity to work alongside experienced advisers and founders
This M&A Deal Consultant opportunity would suit someone who enjoys the commercial side of deals, thrives in relationship-led environments, and wants to stay close to transactions without sitting behind technical delivery work.
