EY is a leading provider of corporate finance advisory services to the UK mid-market, with 200 bankers and other professionals covering key sectors and regional markets across the UK. Within this EY has recently developed an education and training M&A practice focused on the fast growing Ed Tech and corporate learning solution sectors together with more traditional verticals such as schools, higher education and nurseries.

EY’s education and training team is one of the fastest growing parts of EY’s wider CF practice, with nine transactions ongoing at present and a very strong near-term pipeline. The team works closely with innovative tech businesses as well as private equity and other financial investors. The vast majority of work is sell-side M&A, covering minority growth capital fundraising, majority private equity sponsorship and full disposals. In addition, the team covers several key private equity accounts, supporting on buyside opportunities.

The team collaborates closely with other parts of EY’s corporate finance business, particularly EY’s Technology M&A team and EY’s regional offices; and works very closely with other members of EY’s broader EMEA education practice such the EY’s strategy business EY Parthenon.

The team is looking for an associate director level banker with a strong relevant M&A track record and, preferably, experience within the education and / or training sector and / or experience in software transactions. The individual will take a junior leadership position within the EMEA education practice and help to run EY’s CF activities in the sector.
