Corporate Finance Origination Director

Meraki Talent is delighted to be partnering with a highly regarded boutique Corporate Finance advisory firm in London as they look to appoint a senior Corporate Finance professional to help drive the next phase of their growth.

Unlike many opportunities currently on the market, this is not a replacement hire.

The business has built an exceptional execution team and is now seeking an experienced originator with the network, commercial instincts and credibility to generate new opportunities and build long-term client relationships.

The Opportunity:

This is a genuine leadership appointment within an employee-owned Corporate Finance boutique advising owner-managed businesses across the United Kingdom.

The successful individual will work alongside an experienced deal team, allowing them to focus on what they do best: building relationships, winning mandates and contributing strategically to the continued growth of the business.

The firm advises on transactions typically ranging from £5 million to £200 million Enterprise Value and operates on a fully retained fee model.

Key Responsibilities:

• Generate new Corporate Finance opportunities.
• Build and develop relationships with business owners, intermediaries and professional introducers.
• Lead new business pitches.
• Advise clients through the Mergers and Acquisitions process.
• Work closely alongside an established execution team.
• Contribute to the wider strategic direction of the business.
• Help develop the firm’s market presence and profile.

About You:

We are keen to speak with individuals currently operating as:

• Director
• Managing Director
• Partner

You will ideally possess:

• Strong Corporate Finance experience.
• Proven origination capability.
• Established professional network.
• Excellent relationship-building skills.
• Commercial mindset.
• Experience advising owner-managed businesses.
• Passion for business development and client acquisition.

The Firm:

• Employee-owned.
• Boutique Corporate Finance advisory business.
• London-based.
• Sector agnostic.
• Strong sell-side Mergers and Acquisitions focus.
• Fully retained fee model.
• Attractive profit-share structure.
• Experienced execution support already in place.

This represents an excellent opportunity for somebody who enjoys winning work and influencing the direction of a growing Corporate Finance business whilst leveraging an established platform.
