Dynamic and rapidly growing corporate finance boutique to the tech sector requires:

Mergers & Acquisitions Adviser Business Divestiture Transactions

Evolution Capital is a fast-growing and market-leading boutique M&A and strategic advice firm, uniquely advising businesses in the technology, media and telecoms (TMT) sector. We have an impressive track record of consistently unlocking hidden value for our clients. Our approach is thorough, focused exclusively on our clients' specific needs and is indisputably proven in terms of success.

Working as part of our transaction team, the M&A Adviser will be responsible for leading disposal engagements for our clients. This will include managing intricate business sale processes, identifying the right buyers in the sector and working alongside the Transaction Advisers in project managing deals to completion. Our team is focused on quality and continuously improving processes to deliver an exceptional client experience. Delivering quality to both our external and internal 'customers' is key. Our highly collaborative team motto is 'no one of us is smarter than all of us'.

Key to being successful in this role is the ability to build and maintain solid relationships with high level acquirers in the sector. We are looking for a highly motivated and excellent networker who is as comfortable discussing complex deal structures with senior directors, as they are entertaining them at sporting events and business lunches.

The preferred candidate will have previous Mergers & Acquisitions experience gained in either an accountancy or boutique corporate finance firm. However, we are also interested to hear from candidates who have previously held Managing Director, COO or Financial Director roles and would like to move into Corporate Finance. Whatever your previous experience, you must possess first class account and project management skills and be able to work at senior and board level.

We have offices in London and on the south coast in Chichester. This role is based from our Chichester office, so candidates need to live within an easy daily commute from the office. Additionally, there will be some travel across the UK required.
