Backed by leading investors and already acquiring businesses nationwide, this is a rare chance to join at an early stage and shape the entire acquisition engine. You’ll work directly with the founders, owning the full deal lifecycle from sourcing through to completion, and playing a key role in modernising a fragmented, under‑innovated sector through automation and AI.

Seniority level: Mid‑Senior level

• Maintaining momentum across multiple simultaneous sub‑£5m acquisitions
• Working closely with founders on pipeline strategy, deal structuring and commercial decision making
• Helping develop AI‑assisted tools and processes to accelerate sourcing, analysis and execution

• Background in M&A, corporate finance, private equity or Transaction Services (typically 2 to 6 years)
• Strong commercial judgement with the ability to identify attractive deals early
• Confident dealing directly with owner–founders and guiding them through the process
• Ability to analyse financial and operational data quickly and form clear recommendations
• Comfortable working at speed, managing multiple transactions, and travelling across the UK
