Job description

Dyer Baade & Company (DBC) is an independent M&A boutique working predominantly with owner‑managed businesses seeking a private market capital event, i.e. a sale of their business either to a trade buyer or private equity investor.

As a result, most of our deal values tend to be between £15m – £150m and we would almost always work directly for the main decision maker and/or principal of the firm.

Whilst we are sector agnostic, we are very much focused on the financial services industry (Wealth Management, IFAs, Asset Management, FinTech, etc.).

About the role

We are looking for a motivated and experienced (Senior) M&A Transaction Manager to join our M&A transaction management team. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing and delivering key workstreams within our M&A processes, ensuring exceptional client outcomes, process excellence, overseeing junior staff members and coordination among internal and external stakeholders.

Key responsibilities

• Project planning and day‑to‑day transaction management.
• Responsibility for the delivery of key work streams with a particular focus on preparation of pitch decks, IMs, project plans, financial models, due diligence process, transaction reporting, etc.
• Drive transaction timetables and ensure alignment of key milestones.
• Coordinating tasks across the team to ensure projects are delivered on time and to the highest possible standard.
• Act as the central point of contact for senior stakeholders both internally and externally.
• Provide senior‑level input on deal structuring, regulatory implications, and commercial considerations.
• Identify and mitigate execution risks proactively.
• Mentor, supervise and train junior team members.

Key Requirements

• Minimum of 7 years’ experience in corporate finance, transaction services or strategic advisory.
• Exceptional project management, and interpersonal skills.
• High attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure in a fast‑paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Bachelor's degree from a leading university.
• MBA, CFA, or legal qualifications would be a plus.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation.

Location

• St. James’s, London
