Job Description:
Full job descriptionSJC Partners is supporting a fast-growing specialist M&A origination business with the appointment of an Acquisition Search Director.
The firm works with private equity investors, PE-backed businesses and acquisitive corporates and PLCs to build targeted pipelines of off-market acquisition opportunities aligned with each client’s specific investment criteria.
Following continued growth, they are looking to appoint an experienced senior operator who can lead acquisition search mandates, supported by a research and target outreach team.
We are interested in candidates who have operated at a senior level, either within M&A or in a senior commercial or industry role.
The Role
*Lead client relationships and acquisition search mandates
*Build pipelines of off-market acquisition opportunities, supported by a dedicated research team
*Engage directly with founders, owners, CEOs and shareholders
*Position clients credibly and compellingly to prospective acquisition targets
*Handle senior-level conversations, objections and commercially sensitive discussions
*Assess strategic fit and identify the strongest acquisition opportunities
*Manage target relationships from initial engagement through to introduction and ongoing discussions
*Create acquisition opportunities that would be unlikely to reach the open market
This is a highly autonomous role. You will take ownership of your mandates while working alongside an experienced team of senior Acquisition Search Directors.
About You
You will have operated at a senior level and be comfortable engaging with business owners, management teams, investors and boards.
The current team includes individuals who have previously run businesses, held Corporate Development Director-level positions and operated in senior roles within PE-backed organisations.
You therefore do not need to be a traditional M&A professional. The business is more interested in commercial judgement, sector credibility and the ability to build senior relationships.
Why Join?
*Join a fast-growing specialist M&A origination business
*Work directly with private equity, PE-backed and corporate/PLC clients
*Use your sector expertise in a genuinely strategic role
*Highly autonomous and senior-level position
*support
*Fully remote
