Location: London (Hybrid)

Salary: Up to £100,000 + Market-Leading Bonus & Package

Are you ready to accelerate your M&A career at one of Europe’s fastest-growing strategic advisory firms!

We’re seeking a commercially sharp, intellectually curious Manager to lead high-impact Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) and strategic projects within a boutique, senior-led M&A advisory team based in London. Our work sits at the heart of the deal process—partnering with leading Private Equity firms, family offices, and corporates to assess and unlock value in high-growth, high-potential businesses across Europe.

This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-scaling, entrepreneurial team that blends the strategic depth of top-tier consulting with the fast pace and exposure of deal advisory—without the burnout culture. You’ll lead engagements end-to-end, work closely with principals and C-level executives, and help shape both client decisions and the growth of our advisory practice.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead and deliver buy-side and sell-side Commercial Due Diligence projects across a range of sectors
Analyse markets, customer dynamics, competitive positioning, and growth drivers to provide clear, evidence-based investment recommendations
Directly manage senior client relationships, including private equity investors and CxOs
Work across the full deal lifecycle—from pitch to final reporting—often under tight deadlines
Support business development and proposal creation, identifying opportunities to expand client relationships
Mentor and develop junior consultants as a project leader and coach
Collaborate closely with colleagues across Europe on cross-border transactions and strategic mandates
Contribute to the ongoing development of the firm’s M&A advisory proposition and growth strategy

What We’re Looking For

5–8 years’ experience in M&A advisory, strategy consulting, or deal-focused market intelligence
Proven track record in Commercial Due Diligence or pre-deal strategy engagements, ideally for private equity clients
Strong commercial acumen with the ability to assess complex businesses quickly and confidently
Experience working with investment hypotheses and transaction-critical insights
Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and managing multiple priorities in fast-moving environments
Structured thinker with exceptional communication and presentation skills
Sector experience in tech, healthcare, business services or industrials is a plus
MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification is welcome but not essential
Must have the right to work in the UK
Real impact from day one – autonomy to lead engagements and shape client strategy
High growth, low ego culture – entrepreneurial, collaborative and senior-led
Exceptional exposure across both advisory and internal investment strategy
Hybrid working model – flexibility that respects your time and life outside of work
Highly competitive salary + one of the most generous bonus structures in the market
Opportunity to work with a pan-European network of experts on deals that matter

If you're looking to move beyond the rigid structures of traditional firms and into a high-performance environment where your ideas, energy, and judgement can shape the future—this is the role for you.
