M&A Analyst

Location: King’s Cross, London (Hybrid – 3+ days/week in office)

Type: Full-Time

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a junior-level M&A Analyst to join a high-performing Corporate Development team based in London. This is a chance to gain exposure to live transactions and contribute to the strategic growth of a fast-paced, acquisitive business operating across Europe.

If you’re ambitious, analytically minded, and keen to build a career in M&A, this role offers the perfect platform.

The Role

Reporting to the Group Head of M&A and Corporate Development and working closely with senior M&A professionals, you’ll be involved across the entire M&A lifecycle:

• Conducting market reviews and identifying acquisition targets
• Supporting deal pipeline tracking, due diligence processes, and company analysis
• Preparing presentations for senior leadership on acquisition opportunities
• Assisting with valuation modelling, negotiation prep, and transaction documentation
• Supporting integration planning and post-deal analysis

You’ll initially focus on internal processes and coordination, with a clear progression path to take on greater deal support and ownership within 6–12 months.

Candidate Profile

This role is ideal for someone in the early stages of their finance career who is looking to transition into a full-time M&A position. We’re particularly interested in individuals who are:

• Currently studying for their ACA qualification or recently qualified
• Working in audit, FP&A, treasury, or corporate finance with exposure to company accounts
• Analytical, detail-oriented, and commercially aware
• Motivated self-starters with strong communication and collaboration skills
• Able to work effectively with cross-functional and international teams

Languages: Fluency in English is required. Proficiency in another European language (e.g. German or French) is desirable but not essential.

Why Apply?

• Real deal exposure from day one, with involvement in live European transactions
• Mentorship and development from an experienced and collaborative M&A team
• Clear path for career progression within Corporate Development or into Private Equity/Strategy roles
• Dynamic, international working environment in a high-growth sector

Benefits Package

• Up to 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Enhanced family leave policies
• Employee Assistance Programme for personal and professional support
• Discounts on retail, travel, and lifestyle services
• Financial wellbeing resources and a competitive pension scheme
• Recognition and reward schemes
• Two volunteering days per year
• Comprehensive mental health and wellbeing support

If you're passionate about M&A and eager to take the next step in your career with a business that values growth, initiative, and collaboration - we'd love to hear from you.
