Job Description:

Corporate Finance Partner

Manchester / North West

You can already originate.

The question is whether your current platform is helping you scale it.

An established independent corporate finance adviser is actively looking at Manchester/North West expansion and wants commercially credible people to help shape it.

This is not about inheriting a mature office structure.

It’s about building a regional presence with an established national platform behind you.

The role is aimed at entrepreneurial, commercially driven M&A professionals who can originate, lead and execute lower mid-market transactions.

What stands out:

• Genuine opportunity to shape the Manchester/North West presence

• Significant autonomy and regional ownership

• Established national platform, brand and track record

• Direct link between personal performance and earnings

• Future equity opportunity without a heavy upfront buy-in

• Open-minded around individuals or potentially small teams

Headline structure:

• Base draw likely between £100k–£200k

• 30% of fees generated above 3x draw

• Example shared: £150k draw + £1m fees generated = c£315k total comp

• Equity expected after c2–3 years

Likely fit:

• Existing Partners wanting more freedom/upside

• Origination-led Directors ready to step up

• Lower/mid-market dealmakers with strong regional networks

• Commercially confident advisers who back themselves

Less suited to pure execution profiles or individuals heavily reliant on larger institutional platforms for deal flow.

Discretion assured.
