This organisation is one of the most recognisable and trusted brands in corporate Australia. The team's responsibilities are to collaboratively work with senior management to identify and analyse potential acquisition targets for the business, execute M&A transactions, assist with business development and other corporate finance initiatives, and regularly report to the board on growth strategies and acquisition targets.

Your role will consist of undertaking research on proposed acquisitions and growth strategies, valuation of potential targets, managing the due diligence process and transaction execution. You will also assist in preparation of presentations for senior management.

We are looking to hire for two different roles. Both the Analyst (1-3 years' experience) and the Associate (4-6 years' experience) level hires will have come from an M&A coverage team in an investment bank, and accounting firm or a leading advisor. You will have strong presentation and strategic thinking capabilities as well as proven financial acumen and advanced modelling skills.

This role offers the chance for a long-term corporate career either within the M&A function or elsewhere in the business. It is a firm that prides itself on career development and training and offers an excellent corporate culture. You will benefit from working with an exceptionally high performing team, all of whom come from bulge bracket investment banks and have had huge acquisition success within the business. You will benefit from an excellent work life balance and operate in a flat structure that gives you exposure right across the organisation and the senior executive team.
