We are excited to offer the Head of M&A role across multiple locations, including St. Helier, Jersey, Ireland, or Malta.
However, we are only looking to hire one candidate for this position.

Your Impact:
Identification of potential M&A targets across our pillars, to deliver against our M&A strategy, proactivtely working with sellers & brokers to maintain a high quality pipeline.
Manage M&A transactions from end-to-end (sourcing to completion and beyond), working with finance, product leaders, and technical experts to achieve optimal outcomes.
Responsibility for preparation and presentation of transactions for approval to Board and Founder.
Manage the M&A team as well as collaborate with adjacent internal teams.
Be responsible for the development of the more junior M&A team members, as well as driving them forwards to deliver against their goals.
Alongside the relevant deal sponsor, be responsible for pre deal integration planning and post deal accountability.
What You'll Bring:
Qualified Accountant: ACA, CIMA, or equivalent – your qualifications speak for themselves
M&A Expertise: 5-6 years' experience in corporate finance and M&A, gained at top accounting firms, in-house corporate finance teams, or investment banks/boutiques.
Buy-Side M&A Deal Experience: A proven track record of navigating buy-side transactions.
Relationship Building: You have a natural ability to create and nurture long-term relationships, especially with potential acquisition targets and founders.
Strong Negotiation Skills: You know how to close a deal and communicate effectively with all stakeholders.
Hungry and Driven: You have a relentless pursuit of acquisition targets and an unyielding commitment to success.
Authentic and Personable: You'll represent our company with charm, humility, and a genuine passion for what we do – no egos here
Proactive Self-Starter: You're independent, self-motivated, and don't need hand-holding to get the job done.
Exceptional Attention to Detail: You dig into the details and see every task through to completion with high standards.
Strong Project Management: You can juggle multiple deals, keeping them on track while managing various internal and external stakeholders.
