Overview
Corporate Development Manager – Nottingham
Role Purpose:
Location- Ruddington, Nottinghamshire
Level – Professional
Department – Corporate Development
Working Pattern – Hybrid (three days a week in the head office) or remote
Benefits – Benefits at Ideagen
Let’s be honest. You didn’t spend all those years grinding through Big 4 Transaction Services just to wade through data and not have a real say.
You want deals. You want action. You want to be in the room where decisions are made—not just the one tidying up the data afterwards.
Welcome to Ideagen.
We’re a private equity-backed SaaS powerhouse, growing fast and acquiring faster. If you’re ready to swap endless audit trails for real strategic impact, this is your move.
Responsibilities:
- Target Engagement: You’ll be the first handshake. Spotting, evaluating, and nurturing acquisition targets like a seasoned scout.
- Valuation & Modelling: Yes, there’s Excel. But it’s the kind that gets deals done, not the kind that gets endlessly reworked for someone’s ego.
- Due Diligence: Lead it. Own it. Shape it. Financial, operational, legal—you’ll be across it all.
- Reporting: You’ll write the papers that go to the Investment Committee. Not just summaries—strategic insights.
- Stakeholder Management: You’ll be talking to execs, advisers, and targets. Your voice will matter.
- Integration Support: Work with our Integration team to make sure the post-deal phase is as it should be.
Skills and Experience:
- Assistant Manager (or Manager) in Transaction Services.
- You’ve got a couple of years under your belt and you’re itching to step out of the advisory shadows.
- You want to be part of something fast-moving, acquisitive, and genuinely exciting.
- You’re commercially sharp, not afraid to speak up, and ready to make your mark.
Why this role?
Because here, you’ll be in the thick of it.
Not buried in bureaucracy. Not stuck in endless review cycles.
You’ll have autonomy, influence, and visibility—and you’ll help shape the future of a business that’s going places.
