Corporate Finance Manager/Associate Director

Are you working in Corporate Finance or Transaction Services and ready for a role where you can take genuine ownership of deals rather than simply owning one small piece of the process?

A leading UK advisory firm is continuing to grow its Corporate Finance presence across the North-West and is looking to appoint at Manager or Associate Director level, with the flexibility to be based in either Manchester or Liverpool.

This is a hands-on lead advisory opportunity, working closely with Partners and Directors across live transactions from start to finish. You'll have plenty of client exposure, responsibility for driving deals forward and the opportunity to build your own profile within the North West dealmaking community.
