We are partnering with a high-growth, PE-backed business services group backed by a leading international private equity investor. Following significant investment and an ambitious buy-and-build strategy, the business has an exceptional M&A pipeline with 10 acquisitions targeted to complete before year-end.
As a result, they are seeking an experienced Interim M&A Consultant to join immediately and take ownership of deal execution across multiple live transactions.
This is not a strategy or origination role. They need a hands-on execution specialist capable of driving acquisitions from LOI through to completion.

- Lead execution of multiple acquisitions simultaneously
- Own transaction timetables and ensure deals progress to completion
- Manage SPA negotiation processes alongside legal advisers
- Coordinate financial, tax, commercial and legal due diligence workstreams
- Act as the central point of contact between management teams, advisers and stakeholders
- Manage Q&A processes and information requests throughout diligence
- Drive deal governance and reporting across the acquisition pipeline
- Prepare papers and updates for senior leadership and investors
- Support negotiations and help resolve issues that arise during execution
- Ensure transactions complete on time and to a high standard
Candidate Profile
We are looking for individuals who have:
- Significant M&A execution experience gained in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, transaction services or lead advisory environments
- A proven track record leading acquisitions through to completion
- Strong experience managing SPAs, due diligence and external advisers
- Experience working across multiple concurrent transactions
- Excellent project management and stakeholder management skills
