M&A Director/Partner

Partner or Director – Consumer Sector M&A Advisory

About the Company

Join a highly respected boutique investment bank, known for its deep expertise in the UK Consumer sector. The firm partners with blue-chip clients and delivers exceptional results on small to mid-sized transactions, with a strong emphasis on sell-side mandates. Exceptional growth and a focus on succession planning mean the team is now looking to appoint a new senior leader—either as a direct-entry Partner or a Director on the path to Partnership.

The Opportunity

As a key member of the senior team, you will:

• Drive deal origination, leveraging your network to generate both buy- and sell-side mandates.
• Oversee rigorous, efficient execution, engaging fully throughout each transaction process.
• Lead business development efforts, deepening the firm’s presence and reputation in the Consumer sector.
• Develop and empower a high-performing team, coaching colleagues and building delivery capability.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with intermediaries, advisors, and blue-chip clients.
• Play a central role in firmwide decision-making, shaping the team’s direction and ongoing success.

About You

The ideal candidate will have:

• A strong academic background (ACA, CFA, MBA or equivalent).
• A sector background in Consumer, or potentially in Packaging, Chemicals, or Retail.
• A demonstrable track record in originating and executing successful M&A mandates.
• Outstanding analytical, strategic, and financial modelling skills.
• Extensive end-to-end transactional experience.
• Exceptional communication skills, with confidence and gravitas at all levels.
• Proven success in building and mentoring high-calibre teams.
• Ambition, drive, and a results-focused mindset.
• A personable, credible approach that earns trust from clients and colleagues.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business with industry-leading execution and origination talent, operating in robust and resilient sectors. Expect a highly competitive base salary, industry-leading bonus, and a defined plan for full equity participation for those making a long-term impact.
