Job Description

Are you our new M&A professional ready to take ownership of high-impact M&A deals that shape the future of a global industrial leader? Then join us in our mission to pioneer smarter solutions for moving and transforming water, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing quality of life.

As our new Lead M&A Specialist, you will be involved in M&A transactions end-to-end, from letter of intent through due diligence, negotiations, and signing, while coordinating cross-functional teams and building trusted relationships with stakeholders and advisers worldwide.

What you will be doing

As part of the Group M&A team based in our head offices in Bjerringbro, Denmark, you'll get a central role in strategic acquisitions and partnerships that accelerate Grundfos's growth and strengthen our position as a global water technology leader.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Execute M&A transactions from LOI through due diligence, negotiations, and closing, including integration, merger, and carve-out planning
• Coordinate cross-functional workstreams and align internal and external stakeholders throughout the deal lifecycle
• Prepare and quality-assure decision materials for Executive Management, the M&A Committee, and external parties
• Conduct valuations, financial analyses, and assessments of potential M&A targets
• Challenge and validate deal hypotheses, and key assumptions to support sound decision-making
• Drive M&A improvement initiatives and strengthen the Grundfos M&A processes and ways of working

• A master's degree in economics, finance, business, commercial, or alternatively engineering disciplines combined with an MBA
• 2-5 years of experience in corporate M&A, investment banking, transaction advisory, private equity, or similar

It is a plus if you also:

• Have a track record of driving process improvements in a transaction or corporate development environment

Why you will love working here

• A working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support.
