M&A Manager (Business Development)

Mediatech is one of the fastest-growing digital publishing houses, reaching over 25 million people every month across Cybernews, Wellness Pulse, InvestorsObserver, and our wider network.

We deliver trusted, independently researched insights across tech, cybersecurity, health, and finance. Our investigations have exposed major security issues at NASA, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, PayPal, LinkedIn, and the Red Cross, and uncovered the largest-ever password leak (RockYou2024).

We’re a team driven by curiosity, impact, and fast growth - and we’re looking for people who want to build with us.

Our Business Development team helps drive the company’s growth by identifying, evaluating, and advancing high-potential opportunities across the market. We work at the intersection of strategy, finance, and business development — turning opportunities into real business impact and helping strengthen our portfolio over the long term.

This role is a great opportunity for someone who wants to be close to decision-making, work directly with senior leadership, and take real ownership of high-impact opportunities. You’ll play a key role in building and moving the pipeline forward, while working closely with finance, legal, and C-level stakeholders along the way.

You are commercially sharp, analytical, and confident in taking ownership of complex processes. You enjoy assessing businesses, building cases, and moving opportunities forward from first conversation to decision point.

You are comfortable working independently, thinking critically with incomplete information, and communicating credibly with founders, management teams, and internal stakeholders. You combine strong financial judgment with a practical, business-oriented mindset, and you know how to keep momentum in high-stakes situations.
