What are we looking for?

We are looking to incorporate an M&A Manager / Senior Manager to our M&A Deals team, with direct participation in the analysis, structuring, and execution of acquisition opportunities.

The position requires a combination of a solid financial and accounting base, analytical capability, and real transactional experience, covering the investment process from initial evaluation to approval, negotiation, and closing.

Main responsibilities

• Analyze acquisition opportunities from a financial, strategic, and value creation perspective.

• Evaluate the quality of results, cash generation, working capital, debt, and main operating drivers of target companies, including EBITDA normalization and the identification of debt-like / cash-like items when applicable.

• Analyze consulting companies, professional services, and other project-based businesses, with special attention to WIP, degree of progress, backlog, utilization, revenue recognition, margins, and cash conversion.

• Build and review integrated financial models, business plans, and sensitivity scenarios.

• Perform valuations (DCF, trading comparables, precedent transactions, and transaction multiples).

• Develop acquisition and return analysis considering entry and exit multiples, leverage, debt amortization, IRR, and MOIC, including the determination of the maximum entry price / valuation compatible with target returns.

• Analyze and propose the optimal structure for each operation, including initial payment, deferred payments, earn-outs, rollover, and other alternatives.

• Actively participate in the Financial, Tax, Legal, and Commercial Due Diligence processes, coordinating external advisors and internal teams and transferring key findings to the valuation, operation structure, and contractual protections.

• Participate in the preparation and negotiation of LOIs, pricing mechanisms, locked-box / completion accounts, earn-outs, and other relevant economic terms of the transaction.

• Prepare materials for Investment Committee, Board, and shareholders, clearly presenting the investment thesis, valuation, main risks, operation structure, and expected returns.

• Accompany operations until signing and closing and subsequent follow-up of the investment case.

What we are looking for

1. Experience and career path

• Minimum 6 years of relevant professional experience in M&A, Corporate Development, Investment Banking, Corporate Finance, Transaction Services, Financial Due Diligence, Private Equity, or Audit — ideally with exposure to more than one of these disciplines.

• Special interest in profiles from Big Four, M&A boutiques, Investment Banking, Private Equity, Corporate Development, or Corporate Finance teams.

• Practical and relevant experience in M&A operations, covering due diligence, valuation, negotiation, structuring, and execution of transactions.

• Experience in consulting, professional services, engineering, IT services, or other project-based businesses will be especially valued — particularly exposure to WIP, percentage-of-completion accounting, revenue recognition, working capital, and cash conversion.

• The incorporation can be at Manager or Senior Manager level depending on the degree of autonomy, transactional ownership, and previous level of responsibility.

2. Technical and financial skills

• Excellent accounting and financial base: ability to work from accounting information at the highest level of detail and autonomously build and analyze a fully integrated P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow. Solid knowledge of EBITDA normalization, quality of results, working capital, cash conversion, and debt / debt-like items.

• Solid knowledge of valuation and financial modeling, including DCF, trading comparables, precedent transactions, and scenario analysis.

• Ability to analyze acquisition structures and shareholder returns — including leverage, IRR, MOIC, entry / exit multiples, earn-outs, and deferred consideration — and translate target returns into a maximum entry valuation and an appropriate transaction structure.

• Advanced level of Excel and PowerPoint.

3. Interpersonal and management skills

• Ability to operate autonomously with external advisors, management teams, shareholders, Investment Committees, and Boards.

• High communication and presentation skills, with the ability to synthesize complex analyses and convey clear and effective conclusions to senior stakeholders.

• Good orientation to negotiation and influence, with the ability to articulate, defend, and question ideas in a structured and convincing way.

• Ability to manage complex projects with multiple stakeholders, maintaining detailed planning, discipline, and rigorous execution against deadlines.

• Bilingual English or equivalent professional level, given regular contact with our investment fund and other international stakeholders.
