Job description

Partner-level opportunity with equity, influence and strategic visibility.

Whether you’re already operating at Partner level or a proven Director ready for your next step, this is an opportunity to lead significant mid-market transactions within a well-regarded, independent advisory firm. You’ll have strategic autonomy, commercial ownership, and a genuine opportunity to shape the direction of a high-performing team.

  • Competitive base salary + performance bonus
  • Equity participation available for senior hires
  • Comprehensive benefits including healthcare and pension
  • Transparent pathway to senior leadership and ownership

Why This Business

This advisory firm has built a strong reputation for delivering outstanding results across the UK mid-market. Advising business owners, management teams and private equity investors on deals typically in the £20m–£50m+ range, the team has earned respect for its commercial focus, pragmatic advice and strong execution capability.

They offer the professionalism of a larger platform with the culture and agility of a fast-growing independent. Senior leaders remain hands-on, fostering a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment that rewards initiative, performance and long-term contribution.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead and originate mid-market M&A transactions with full commercial visibility
  • Build and maintain strong client and investor relationships
  • Mentor and develop deal teams, ensuring excellence in process and delivery
  • Play an active role in market engagement and strategic growth initiatives

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven track record leading and originating UK mid-market M&A transactions (£20m–£100m EV typical)
  • Background in a credible advisory environment – boutique, Big 4, or mid-tier firm
  • ACA or equivalent qualification advantageous but not essential
  • Entrepreneurial outlook and strong commercial judgement

Who This Suits

You’re a commercially minded dealmaker with a strong origination track record and a collaborative leadership style. You may be a Director ready to take an equity seat, or an established Partner seeking a more agile, entrepreneurial setting where your impact is visible and rewarded.

If you’re open to exploring what a move could look like - message me here on LinkedIn or email gemma@walkerlovell.com. A CV isn’t essential at this stage - let’s just start with a conversation.
