M&A Analyst

M&A Analyst

Location: King's Cross, London (Hybrid - 3+ days/week in office)

Type: Full-Time

Salary: £55,000 - £65,000

Play a key role in shaping Idverde's strategic growth across Europe.

Idverde is Europe's leading provider of green infrastructure services, with a growing footprint across the UK and Europe. We are now seeking a high-potential M&A Analyst to join our London-based Corporate Development team.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a junior candidate looking to build a career in M&A. You'll work in a live deal environment, learn directly from senior leaders, and gain experience across the full transaction lifecycle from market mapping and due diligence to deal execution and integration.

About the Role

Reporting to the Group Head of M&A and Corporate Development, and working closely with the M&A Director, you will be involved in:

• Conducting market reviews and identifying potential acquisition targets across Europe
• Supporting pipeline tracking, due diligence coordination, and company analysis
• Preparing Board and Executive Committee presentations on acquisition opportunities
• Assisting with valuation modelling, deal structuring, negotiation prep, and SPA reviews
• Supporting integration planning and post-deal monitoring across acquired businesses

Initially, your focus will be on internal processes, coordination, and analysis - growing into deeper deal support and ownership over time (6-12 months).

What We're Looking For

This role suits a junior or entry-level candidate with a strong academic background and a clear ambition to move into M&A. We're particularly interested in individuals who are:

• Currently undertaking ACA training or recently qualified
• Working in audit, FP&A, treasury, or corporate finance, with solid exposure to company accounts
• Highly numerate, analytical, and commercially aware
• Motivated self-starters with excellent attention to detail and a proactive approach
• Strong communicators who can work across cross-functional teams

Languages: Fluent English is essential. German, French, or another European language is desirable but not required.
