£200k+ base salary, day one equity and bonus You’re trusted by business owners. You know the lower mid-market. But the upside probably still feels too diluted. Maybe you’re carrying more than your share of origination. Maybe the platform is too slow, too political or too reliant on your own network. Maybe you can see the opportunity in Newcastle, but your current firm is not set up to help you build it. This is about changing that. We’re working with an international M&A advisory platform looking to back a proven dealmaker to build and lead a new office. This is not a “bring your book and hope for the best” Partner role. The infrastructure is already there: marketing, lead generation, buyer reach, operational support and execution capability. The role is simple: originate, lead, close, build. • Equity participation from day one, • Bonus linked to performance, • Build and lead a new local office, • Established marketing and lead generation engine, • Mandate flow, buyer reach and execution support, • Real autonomy with serious infrastructure behind you, • A proven dealmaker, not just an impressive title, • Strong lower mid-market M&A / corporate finance experience, • Evidence of personally winning mandates in the last 12 months, • Credibility with entrepreneurs, shareholders and owner‑managed businesses, • A serious network across Newcastle / North East and the surrounding market, • The appetite to build and lead a new regional office, • Someone who can bring relationships, energy and commercial momentum from day one This will not suit someone who is mainly execution‑led. It will not suit someone whose experience is mostly large‑cap, institutional or process‑heavy. It will not suit someone who wants the platform to do all the heavy lifting. But if you know how to win mandates, advise business owners and build trusted lower mid‑market relationships, this is a serious alternative. #J-18808-Ljbffr
