Summary
Director of M&A | Germany | PE-Backed Healthcare Platform
I’m working on an exciting opportunity with a fast-growing, PE-backed healthcare services platform in Germany, looking to appoint a Director of M&A to help drive its next phase of buy-and-build growth. The business operates at meaningful scale nationally and is pursuing an ambitious acquisition strategy in a fragmented market.
This is a hands-on role with direct exposure to senior management and shareholders, suited to someone who wants to play a visible role in executing and shaping a live M&A agenda. The position will involve ownership of the deal pipeline, evaluation of targets, business case development, LOI preparation, due diligence coordination, SPA negotiations, management of external advisers, and support through post-merger integration. There is also broader exposure to strategy, corporate development and operational improvement work.
We are keen to speak with candidates who bring c.5–8 years of M&A experience gained in investment banking, consulting, transaction advisory or in-house corporate development. You should have strong modelling capability, successful end-to-end transaction experience, including SPA negotiation exposure, and be comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy in a fast-moving environment. Fluency in both German and English is required.
This is a particularly attractive opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on deal execution, wants broader ownership than a traditional large corporate seat, and is motivated by the chance to help build a scaled platform in a resilient healthcare market.
