Attractive salary
Central London
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
