We’re working with a fast-growing, private equity-backed professional services group that is looking to hire a Corporate Development Manager to support its ongoing buy-and-build strategy.

The Role

You’ll play a key role in the full deal lifecycle, including:

• Identifying and screening acquisition targets
• Supporting valuation, financial analysis and business case development
• Managing advisors and coordinating due diligence
• Assisting with deal execution through to completion

The role offers genuine end-to-end exposure rather than a narrow execution-only remit.

• Experience within or exposure to professional services, business services, financial services or related sectors preferred
• Strong financial modelling and analytical skills
• Commercial mindset with the ability to engage credibly with founders, advisors and senior stakeholders
• Ideally candidates will be ACA qualified or the equivalent

Why This Role

• Active buy-and-build M&A strategy
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and PE investors
• Can be remote within the UK
• Opportunity to progress into a senior corp dev / strategy role as the platform scales
