Corporate Finance Executive

Corporate Finance Executive | Leading Irish PLC

HireForce is proud to partner with one of Ireland’s most prominent PLCs to recruit a Corporate Finance Executive for their high-performing Group Corporate Development team. This isn't just a "finance role"—it is a front-row seat to the Group’s global acquisition and corporate development strategy.

You will work directly with senior Group and divisional leadership, acting as a key driver in the deals that shape the company’s future.

Why This Role?

• Unrivalled Trajectory: This position is a proven "fast-track" role. Previous incumbents have progressed into senior leadership and strategic roles across the wider Group.
• High Impact: You won't just be crunching numbers; you will be evaluating, modeling, and executing transactions from day one.
• Senior Exposure: Gain direct mentorship and visibility with C-suite executives and divisional MDs.

Key Responsibilities

• Deal Execution: Review, evaluate, and execute M&A and corporate development opportunities globally.
• Strategic Modeling: Build and stress-test complex financial models to support investment decisions and strategic initiatives.
• End-to-End Project Management: Take ownership of the transaction lifecycle—from initial assessment and due diligence (financial, commercial, legal) through to closing.
• Stakeholder Influence: Coordinate high-level internal stakeholders and manage external advisors (Legal, Tax, Financial) to ensure first-class execution.
• Negotiation Support: Review and contribute to the negotiation of key transaction documentation.

The Candidate

• Qualification: Recently Qualified Accountant (ACA/ACCA) with 0–2 years PQE.
• Background: Trained within Transaction Services (TS) or Corporate Finance in a Big 4 or Top 6 firm.
• Academic Excellence: A strong academic track record and a sharp commercial "lens."
• Drive: The ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment.

Remuneration & Benefits

Competitive remuneration package will depend on experience.
