The position

Job description

We are looking for a high-caliber M&A profile to help build and execute our acquisition strategy from the ground up.

This is not a support role. We are looking for someone who can think independently, source proprietary opportunities, structure creative deals, and drive transactions end to end.

You should be comfortable operating in a demanding, entrepreneurial environment with high standards, high autonomy, and direct exposure to top-level strategic decisions.

What you will do

• Build and run our buy-and-build engine

• Map markets, identify targets, and develop acquisition theses

• Source proprietary opportunities through direct outreach and relationship building

• Lead discussions with founders, shareholders, advisors, and counterparties

• Structure creative transactions and propose the right deal architecture

• Drive execution across the full M&A process: valuation, negotiation, due diligence, signing, and closing

• Work closely with leadership on strategic priorities and capital allocation

• Help shape post-acquisition logic and long-term consolidation strategy

---

Preferred experience

• Around 4 to 7 years of experience in investment banking, M&A, private equity, or corporate development

• Strong deal judgment and the ability to form a clear view quickly

• Creative thinker on deal structuring, not just execution

• Proven ability to combine analytical rigor with commercial instinct

• Entrepreneurial mindset, high ownership, and appetite for building

• Excellent communication skills and strong interpersonal impact

You are likely a fit if

• You have trained in a demanding M&A or investing environment

• You are strong in front of people, not only behind Excel

• You can source as well as execute

• You want to move from advising deals to building a company through deals

• You are ambitious, sharp, resilient, and excited by intensity

---

Recruitment process

Why join

• Direct exposure to the CEO and core strategic decisions

• Opportunity to build the M&A function almost from scratch

• Real autonomy and real impact

• A role at the center of value creation

• The chance to become a key player in a long-term buy-and-build story

If you are looking for a comfortable corporate role, this is probably not for you.

If you want to help build an acquisition machine and play a central role in an ambitious growth story, we would love to hear from you.
