(Junior) Business Development Manager (M&A) - Location: Hannover or Munich

We are a specialized M&A boutique focusing on buy-side and sell-side mandates from German and international investors in the medium-sized business sector (Mittelstand). Our buy-side clients are primarily private equity investors who implement buy-and-build strategies in the German-speaking medium-sized business sector, with a focus on the business services sector.

Tasks

• Identification and qualification of potential targets in the German medium-sized business sector along the investment criteria of our mandates (research via Northdata, Pitchbook, client briefings, own market mappings)
• Direct approach to managing directors and owners through all relevant channels: telephone, email, LinkedIn, and personal on-site meetings
• Building and maintaining relationships with business owners for whom a sale will only become relevant in 1-2 years
• Initiating and coordinating initial meetings between targets and clients up to the LOI
• Maintaining the pipeline and reporting activities in HubSpot
• Close coordination with the MD responsible for the buy-side mandate

Qualification

• 1-2 years of professional experience in a relevant environment — e.g., M&A, Corporate Finance, PE, management consulting, B2B sales with a focus on medium-sized businesses, or comparable
• Confident, professional demeanor, meaning you can speak on equal terms with experienced medium-sized business owners and proprietors
• High self-motivation and resilience: Cold outreach in the medium-sized business sector means many rejections for every acceptance
• Structured, systematic way of working
• Native-level German, business-fluent English
• Presence in Munich or Hannover (office-based, no remote)
• Understanding of fundamental M&A process mechanics (Teaser, NDA, IM, LOI, DD)

Ideally, you will bring:

• Network in the German medium-sized business sector
• Experience with long sales cycles / complex deals
• HubSpot knowledge

Benefits

Look forward to a dynamic, dedicated, and open team of around 12 colleagues, regular team dinners, team offsites, and summer and Christmas parties.

We look forward to your application!
