Deal Origination Executive – Corporate Finance

This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast growing, very active Corporate Finance advisory & Investment firm in a Deal Origination/Business Development role within their Birmingham office. The successful candidate will play a key role in helping to generate and coordinate high-quality deal flow across the business.

Working closely with the Directors and Partners and sector teams, you will be responsible for identifying potential corporate finance opportunities and initiating conversations with senior decision-makers. Using a combination of financial news monitoring, business intelligence platforms, highly tuned internal research and market insight, you will help identify companies where a future corporate finance transaction is likely and secure introductory meetings with key stakeholders.

You will also prepare detailed briefing materials ahead of meetings to ensure the attending individual is fully informed on the target business, its strategy, and potential transaction drivers. As a dedicated deal originator supporting specific sector teams, you will contribute to sector-focused marketing initiatives, participate in team strategy discussions, and work closely with the firm’s research function to build targeted pipelines of prospective clients.

The successful candidate does not necessarily need a background in deal origination/business development within corporate finance. However, you will demonstrate a highly proactive, tenacious, and self-motivated approach, with the confidence and professionalism required to engage with senior executives and business owners. Experience in a business to business, business development, sales, research, or relationship-driven role is necessary.

In addition to a competitive salary and benefits package, the role offers a performance-related bonus structure directly linked to successful deal origination. You will also have the opportunity to work within a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and highly successful firm, with clear potential for long-term career progression.
