Benchmark International is one of the world’s leading dedicated sell-side mergers and acquisitions (M&A) specialists. Benchmark International specialises in sales mandates ranging from small owner-managed businesses to mid-market corporations. We are sector-agnostic and work across numerous industry sectors.

An opportunity is available to join our Transaction Team, where you will be responsible for researching the companies that we are mandated to sell, developing a clear understanding of each business, and its marketable attributes. Using this knowledge, you will then be producing concise business reports (Information Memorandums) to present your findings; doing so in a format that will appropriately inform and engage prospective purchasers.

The role presents an opportunity to enter the exciting and rewarding world of M&A and will give exposure to clients and the deal process.

  

Duties will include:

  • Working as part of a multi-disciplined Transaction Team to understand businesses for sale and their attributes.
  • Researching these businesses via direct communication with clients (the vendors) to gain a full understanding of the company that is for sale.
  • Investigating any follow-up queries regarding the company raised internally by the Transaction Team.
  • Interpreting financial information with support from your team, to ensure we are presenting this information accurately.
  • Utilising external sources, including market intelligence, to inform your understanding of each business and its market.
  • Preparing reports that describe clearly what the company does and the reasons why it would be attractive to a buyer. 
  • Communicating the content of the report to clients and to colleagues internally, to inform our buyer identification process, and subsequent dialogue.
  • Understanding and commenting on financial and market information.
  • Other relevant ad-hoc duties as determined by the Transaction Leader.

  • A relevant degree in business, finance, accounting, banking, economics.
  • Ability to write in a concise and compelling manner within a predetermined structure.
  • Good communication skills suitable for presenting to both internal and external stakeholders. 
  • Competency using Microsoft Office products, particularly PowerPoint.

  • The area of the M&A market in which Benchmark International operates.

  • Specific research tools and methodologies.
  • Relevant aspects of business and finance.
