M&A Manager

Your goal You are an M&A professional with 3–4 years of experience, ready to move beyond pure execution and develop into an independent dealmaker. At Marktlink, you take on meaningful responsibility from day one and work towards building your own entrepreneurial track within 1–2 years. This ambition is deeply embedded in Marktlink’s DNA. In this role, you will operate in a small, entrepreneurial team, working directly with the Partner.
