Attractive salary

Ref: WW11578


The Opportunity:

Finatal is working with a sought-after private equity fund operating in the lower mid-market looking for an Investment Director to join a high performing team. This is an excellent opportunity to join and lead deals at a private equity firm in a thriving part of the market.


Responsibilities:

Deal origination and sourcing opportunities

  • Supporting the development of the fund’s presence across the UK and Europe, elevating the brand and educating market participants about our focus and modus operandi
  • Helping build and cultivate strong relationships with the advisory community, ensuring we are amongst the first to hear about all new relevant opportunities
  • Managing and proactively building other origination channels and networks to identify other on, off and edge-of-market opportunities.
  • Identifying interesting sector niches and carrying out targeted off-market origination activities.

Execution of deals

  • Quickly learn to qualify opportunities which are attractive and be able to apply to a range of deal structures according to the situation
  • Be a deal captain, accountable for leading deals from origination, structuring and negotiation, through to completion, managing all stakeholders throughout the process
  • Co-ordinating internal resources and external advisors to quickly and effectively conduct due diligence
  • Personally leading the commercial aspects of financial due diligence and owning detailed operational models which underpin the investment case

Working with the portfolio companies to help them realise their value

  • Post-deal, keep close to portfolio company strategy and focus, to ensure any/all relevant deals we see are screened both as potential bolt-ons and also learning opportunities.
  • Support (and potentially lead on) bolt-on acquisitions for portfolio companies


Requirements:

  • The role is best suited to someone with approximately 7-10 years’ professional experience, with a significant portion of this (minimum 4 years) being corporate finance/M&A experience.
  • Some in-house investment experience in another private equity or growth investor with a similar focus would be considered a positive but is not a requirement.
  • Strong academics, including a degree (minimum 2.1) from a leading university
  • A qualified chartered accountant that has trained with a top 10 accounting firm, or a candidate that can demonstrate similar capability and holds another professional qualification (e.g. CFA), in both cases with strong pass rates in all exams
  • Significant experience in deal processes and a strong understanding of different deal structures. Ideally, the candidate will have worked directly under the lead Partner/Director on several end-to end transaction processes and/or spent time as an investor in these markets.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build rapport quickly with a range of key stakeholders
  • Strong analytical skills – both quantitative and qualitative. Specifically, around modelling, the candidate will need to be capable of building and understanding three-way integrated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow forecasts.
  • Advanced Excel and proven analytical ability – able to work with raw and unstructured data
  • Rigorous mindset, and exhibits a meticulous attention to detail, but also able to step back, understand and communicate the bigger picture view.
  • Team player, capable of planning and managing time effectively in an environment with high workflow and tight deadlines
