A fast-scaling, AI-driven property group is hiring an M&A Director to lead and scale its acquisition strategy as it builds the UK’s first AI-enabled roll-up of independent property companies.
Backed by leading investors and already acquiring businesses nationwide, this is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a high-velocity M&A function. You will work directly with the founders, leading deal strategy, driving execution and building the acquisition engine that underpins the group’s growth.
Role: M&A Director
Salary: Competitive, with strong performance-based bonus and equity
Location: London-based with UK-wide travel (hybrid working)
What you’ll be doing:
- Own and lead the end-to-end M&A strategy across a high-volume acquisition pipeline
- Drive deal sourcing through brokers, direct outreach and your own network
- Build and maintain senior relationships with owner–operators, positioning the group as a buyer of choice
- Lead negotiations, deal structuring and execution across multiple concurrent acquisitions
- Oversee due diligence processes, ensuring commercial, financial and operational alignment
- Work closely with founders on capital deployment, pipeline prioritisation and strategic direction
- Build and scale the M&A function, introducing structure, process and performance tracking
- Support post-acquisition integration alongside operational teams
- Leverage data and emerging AI tools to improve sourcing, analysis and deal velocity
What you’ll need:
- Strong background in M&A, private equity, corporate finance or Transaction Services (typically 6+ years)
- Proven experience leading transactions end-to-end, ideally within lower mid-market or high-volume environments
- Strong commercial judgement with the ability to assess deals quickly and confidently
- Experience managing multiple transactions simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
- Confidence operating at senior stakeholder level, including founders, investors and advisors
- Ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution
- Comfortable working with autonomy in a high-growth, evolving business
What’s on offer:
- Highly competitive salary with performance-based bonus and equity
- Hybrid working with travel across the UK
- Direct exposure to founders and investors
- Opportunity to build and lead a high-impact M&A function
- A central role in scaling a tech-enabled platform within a fragmented market
This role would suit someone who wants to step into a leadership position within a high-growth environment, take ownership of deal strategy, and play a key role in building a category-defining business.
