About The Company

Winfield Thorne is a sell-side M&A advisory firm specializing in mid-market exits (£2M–£100M). We represent founders, business owners, and CEOs looking to sell their companies. As the dedicated sell-side advisory arm of Palmstone Capital ($14B+ in transaction volume), we combine institutional infrastructure with a focused sell-side practice.About The Role

Winfield Thorne advises founders and business owners on liquidity events— exits and capital raises between £2M and £100M. These transactions represent decades of work. Your role is to guide them through the most significant financial decision of their lives. We solve origination: you won’t cold-call or chase leads. You will work a pipeline of founders and CEOs whohave responded positively to outreach. Your job is to schedule the call, run discovery, build trust, and close the mandate. This is a high-velocity sales role with 15–20+ calls per day to engaged prospects, fast follow-up cycles, full pipeline ownership, and a focus on closing rather than slow-burn enterprise sales.Compensation
