Pearse Portfolio are supporting a PE-backed, premium healthcare services group in seeking an Interim Head of M&A to lead the execution of its buy and build strategy. The business has a strong acquisition pipeline, including a number of founder-led targets, and needs a senior dealmaker to take ownership of end to end transaction delivery.

The Role:

• Lead evaluation, negotiation and completion of acquisitions across the UK
• Manage the active deal pipeline and coordinate due diligence workstreams
• Work closely with the CEO, CFO and investor through to deal close
• Hands-on execution role, running processes and getting deals done

What we’re looking for:

• Previous experience executing multiple acquisitions in a buy-and-build or roll-up environment
• Trained in investment banking, Big 4 transaction services or corporate finance advisory
• Comfortable leading founder-led deals where relationship management matters as much as financial modelling
• Healthcare services exposure is a plus but not essential – what matters is pace and pattern recognition
