For our office in Manchester we are looking for an M&A Associate.
You already have a few years’ experience as an M&A professional and the ambition to become an independent dealmaker within the next three years. This entrepreneurial drive is part of Marktlink’s DNA. At Marktlink you will be doing business independently from day one. You will be responsible for a significant part of the transaction process and from A to Z in the deal. You have sufficient financial skills, but also a commercial mindset and a genuine interest in entrepreneurs; the clients of Marktlink.

• Performing company and market analysis;
• Preparing valuations and bid books;
• Meeting potential buyers and sellers;
• Approaching new buyers and sellers;
• Expanding and maintaining the (Marktlink) network;
• Preparing financing applications and solving financing issues;
• Providing broad support to the manager during the projects.
