Job Description

Elgin is seeking an experienced and commercially astute Senior Manager/ Vice President – M&A to play a leading role within its Transactions team, with a core focus on the UK & Ireland market. The role sits at the heart of Elgin’s growth strategy and involves originating, executing and leading complex M&A, divestment, joint venture, and strategic investment transactions across multiple jurisdictions.

The successful candidate will operate with a high degree of autonomy, leading transactions end‑to‑end, while acting as a senior contributor to structuring, investment decision-making, and execution strategy. The role will work closely with the Head of Transactions (based in Dublin) and senior stakeholders and will contribute to strategic decision‑making through the preparation and presentation of high‑quality analysis and recommendations to the Investment Committee and senior management.

What you will do:

Lead the execution of M&A, divestment, JV and capital recycling transactions on a day‑to‑day basis, from origination through closing, ensuring alignment with the agreed transaction strategy.
Prepare and present materials to senior management and the Investment Committee, including investment papers, valuations and risk assessments, to support executive and Board‑level decision‑making.
Proactively originate and assess acquisition and partnership opportunities, maintaining a strong understanding of market dynamics, competitor activity and valuation trends.
Lead commercial, financial, and strategic due diligence, coordinating internal teams and managing external advisers (legal, financial, technical, tax).
Negotiate transaction documentation in conjunction with legal advisers, focusing on commercial risk, value protection and execution certainty.
Act as a key execution lead and trusted counterpart to internal functions (Development, Finance, Legal, Technical), escalating key issues and recommendations to the Head of Transactions as required.
Mentor and develop junior team members, providing guidance, review and support to analysts and associates.

Your profile

Bachelor’s degree in finance, economics, business, or a related field with an ACA qualification or similar (e.g. ACCA, CFA).
Extensive relevant experience in M&A, investment banking, private equity, infrastructure / renewables investing, project finance or a comparable transactions role.
Demonstrate strong track record of leading and closing complex transactions, ideally within renewables, infrastructure or energy.
Excellent financial modelling, valuation and commercial analysis skills, with the ability to challenge assumptions and drive investment decisions.
Deep understanding of deal structuring, risk allocation and transaction documentation.
Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders and advisers across jurisdictions.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confidence operating at senior management and Investment Committee level.
Highly organised, commercially minded and comfortable operating in a fast paced, entrepreneurial environment.
