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 conduct a bespoke acquisition search process, uncovering target businesses within their specific criteria and facilitating introductions. The client conducts 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, 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 performed by an in-house team.
* Approaching major shareholders of target businesses and engaging in detailed, highly commercial conversations via video call about their business models, financials, growth, and owner’s selling aspirations.
* Discussing each potential target with the client and facilitating meetings with selected businesses.
* Managing the acquisition process relationship thereafter, requiring strong commercial acumen but not financial qualifications.
Applicants should have the ability to understand various business models and experience operating at the board level is important, given the client relationship management at owner/CEO level, often involving large corporates, private equity, and private equity-backed companies.
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 a very attractive, transparent bonus scheme, paid multiple times a year based on deal activity. Bonuses are uncapped, with potential earnings of 100% of the salary or more in a good year.
