M&A Business Development Executive

5 Days Old

At Complii, we are on the lookout for an M&A Business Development Executive to play a key role in supporting our ambitious acquisition strategy. This role focuses on proactively identifying and engaging with business owners, generating high-quality acquisition opportunities, and nurturing relationships that feed directly into our growing M&A pipeline.

If you enjoy speaking with business owners, uncovering opportunities, and working in a fast-paced, commercially focused environment, this is a role where your energy and resilience will make a real impact. Previous M&A experience is not essential, and the role could be well suited to individuals from a business development, sales, or lead generation background who have strong transferable skills and enjoy building relationships with senior decision-makers.

You will be responsible for building and managing a large pipeline of potential acquisition targets, conducting consistent outreach, and ensuring high-quality engagement with prospective sellers. From day one, the priority is generating qualified opportunities, building trust with business owners, and contributing directly to Complii’s continued growth through acquisitions. As the business continues to expand, there are clear and realistic progression opportunities for individuals who perform well and want to grow their career within the M&A and investment space.

What you receive for joining us

We believe in rewarding performance and commitment, which is why we offer a salary of £40,000 per year, alongside a quarterly performance bonus linked to qualified opportunities progressing to Heads of Terms. This also includes 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, an additional day off for your birthday, a company pension, comprehensive professional development and flexible working to support work-life balance.

Here is a look at some of the things you will be doing

• Conducting high-volume outbound outreach to business owners through calls, emails, LinkedIn, and targeted campaigns to generate acquisition opportunities
• Researching and identifying potential acquisition targets, gathering key business information, and assessing initial strategic fit
• Building rapport with business owners and qualifying opportunities before arranging introductory meetings with the Investment Director
• Maintaining accurate CRM records and managing a disciplined follow-up process to progress opportunities through the M&A pipeline

Can you show experience in some of these areas

• Experience in outbound sales, lead generation, or business development, ideally involving high levels of proactive outreach
• Confidence making high-volume outbound calls and building rapport quickly with senior decision-makers or business owners
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage a large pipeline of opportunities while maintaining accurate CRM data
• A resilient, target-driven mindset with excellent communication skills and the ability to handle objections professionally

If you feel you have the skills and drive to make an impact, even if you don’t meet every requirement above, we’d still love to hear from you.
