Associate Director - M&A Advisory
Birmingham | Hybrid working
High-growth advisory firm | Lower/Mid-market focus | Real autonomy

Looking for more than just another deal to process?

My client is an ambitious corporate finance advisory firm working with exceptional founder-led and private equity-backed businesses across the UK and internationally. They are growing growing fast - and they are hiring an Associate Director in Birmingham to play a key role in their next phase.

This isn''t a box-ticking, hierarchy-heavy environment. It''s a chance to genuinely lead deals, shape strategy, and work alongside high-performing colleagues who back your judgement, not second-guess it.

You''ll be advising clients directly - often founders and boards - on strategic transactions, working end-to-end on deals, and helping to build something truly exciting as they scale.

What you''ll be doing:

  • Taking the lead on M&A transactions from pitch to completion
  • Managing clients, investors, and stakeholders with confidence
  • Overseeing valuation, structuring, negotiation and execution
  • Supporting and developing junior team members
  • Playing a key role in new business, firm growth and internal best practice


What they are looking for:

  • Strong M&A experience in the mid-market space (-10m100m typical deal size)
  • Background in a boutique, Big 4 or high-quality mid-tier CF team
  • Proven ability to manage deals and build trusted client relationships
  • Commercial instinct, clear thinking and a collaborative mindset
  • Ambition to grow in a firm where your voice is heard and your impact is felt


What you''ll get:

  • Real autonomy - no red tape, no layers of approval
  • Top-tier clients - founder-led businesses, PE funds, scale-ups
  • Supportive culture - high-performance, no egos
  • Momentum - join during a high-growth phase with plenty of opportunity
  • Hybrid working and a competitive package - designed around trust and output


They are not just building a business - they are building a team of trusted advisors, dealmakers and long-term partners to the clients they serve.

If you''re ready for your next big step and want to do great work without the corporate drag, I would love to hear from you.
