Mergers & Acquisitions Researcher - Boutique M&A Firm

SJC Partners have been mandated by one of the UK’s premier Corporate Finance boutiques to recruit a hungry and driven individual for an M&A Researcher position. They have completed on a number of transactions over the course of 2024 with an impressive pipeline of new deals currently for 2025 and this hire is seen as critical to this next stage of their growth.

Responsibilities for the role would cover, but not be limited to:

• Utilising a variety of research techniques to target businesses considering their sale/exit strategy.
• Working closely with internal marketing professionals to ensure pitch materials are of high quality.
• Taking ownership of key research and analysis regarding acquisition activity in the market to help win new mandates (e.g Sector and Market trends, Private Equity activity).
• Liaising with clients to engage them in the sale process once mandate won.

Applicants should possess some form of research experience. Ideally this experience will be from within the deals/M+A world but applications are welcome from individuals from outside Deals. You will pride yourself on your attention to detail, ability to run multiple projects concurrently and be a natural self-starter who can be highly pro-active.

This represents an outstanding first move into M&A for an individual passionate about research in which you will have an opportunity to drive and generate high profile deal mandates. A competitive salary with a market leading bonus scheme, where you will be rewarded for the mandates you have helped to secure, is on offer.
