Director of M&A | Germany | PE-Backed Healthcare Platform

I’m working on an exciting opportunity with a fast-growing, PE-backed healthcare services platform in Germany, looking to appoint a Director of M&A to help drive its next phase of buy-and-build growth. The business operates at meaningful scale nationally and is pursuing an ambitious acquisition strategy in a fragmented market.

This is a hands‑on role with direct exposure to senior management and shareholders, suited to someone who wants to play a visible role in executing and shaping a live M&A agenda. The position will involve ownership of the deal pipeline, evaluation of targets, business case development, LOI preparation, due diligence coordination, SPA negotiations, management of external advisers, and support through post‑merger integration. There is also broader exposure to strategy, corporate development and operational improvement work.

We are keen to speak with candidates who bring c.5–8 years of M&A experience gained in investment banking, consulting, transaction advisory or in‑house corporate development. You should have strong modelling capability, successful end‑to‑end transaction experience, including SPA negotiation exposure, and be comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy in a fast‑moving environment. Fluency in both German and English is required.

This is a particularly attractive opportunity for someone who enjoys hands‑on deal execution, wants broader ownership than a traditional large corporate seat, and is motivated by the chance to help build a scaled platform in a resilient healthcare market.
