Description

Your goal

You are an M&A professional with 3–4 years of experience, ready to move beyond pure execution and develop into an independent dealmaker. At Marktlink, you take on meaningful responsibility from day one and work towards building your own entrepreneurial track within 1–2 years. This ambition is deeply embedded in Marktlink’s DNA.

In this role, you will operate in a small, entrepreneurial team, working directly with the Partner. Rather than being one of many layers, you are close to decision-making and client interaction from the start. You will quickly take ownership of projects and, step by step, grow into leading transactions independently.

Your responsibilities

At Marktink no day is the same. As an M&A Manager you can broadly expect the following:

  • Performing company and market analyses

  • Preparing valuations and bid books

  • Meeting potential buyers and sellers

  • Actively approaching new buyers and sellers

  • Expanding and maintaining your (Marktlink) network

  • Preparing financing applications and solving financing issues

  • Taking increasing responsibility in leading transactions and client processes

Requirements

Your profile

You are sharp, accurate, result-oriented, think on your feet and like to get things done. Furthermore, we expect you to deliver the following experience and competencies:

  • Master's degree in Finance

  • The last 3 to 4 years you have been working as an M&A professional 

  • Experience in acquiring leads and completing M&A transactions in the German mid-market

  • An active business network with trusted relationships in Germany

  • You are analytically strong, punctual and target-driven

  • You are passionate about SMEs and you have a genuine interest in entrepreneurs

  • An eye for personal relationships and excellent communication skills are a must

  • You are driven to realize ambitious, yet achievable revenue targets

  • International working experience in M&A (Europe and the US)

  • Fluency in Croatian or Slovenian, plus excellent command of English;  additional German is advantageous
