Senior Corporate Finance Executive

Principal Manager – Accountancy & Finance

Meraki Talent is working with an independent, owner‑managed corporate finance advisory that is looking to hire a senior corporate finance professional on a permanent basis as part of the next phase of its growth.

This is a hands‑on execution role in a small, high‑quality team. The work is mainly mid‑market M&A and equity fundraising, with typical deal sizes in the £40m–£100m range, and regular exposure to larger transactions.

• Lead M&A and equity fundraising transactions
• Run deal processes with minimal supervision
• Be client‑facing and represent the firm confidently
• Manage advisers, investors, and counter parties
• Support pitches and help win new mandates
• Mentor and develop junior team members

• Strong experience in M&A and equity fundraising
• Proven track record of closing deals in the tens or hundreds of millions
• Comfortable working in a lean, high‑responsibility environment
• Ability to deal directly with CEOs, founders, and investors without hand‑holding

Any exposure to technology or AI‑related work would be useful as the firm continues to evolve its offering over time.

• Enjoy working in an entrepreneurial setup
• Comfortable with visibility and accountability
• Commercially minded with understanding of how deals make money
• Appreciate that live transactions require flexibility and commitment

• Long‑term role with real responsibility and autonomy
• Consistent exposure to high‑quality, high‑value transactions
• Direct access to decision‑makers
• The chance to influence how the firm grows and executes
• Very little bureaucracy

This is a permanent opportunity for someone who wants to take ownership, build credibility with clients, and be part of a business rather than just pass through it.
