The posting

Job title: Business Development Manager (M&A) - Germany Location: Munich / Hybrid Hours: Full-time

Why join us?

You will lead acquisitions of veterinary clinics and clinic groups in Germany for AniCura, part of Mars Veterinary Health. You own the process from the first conversation with an owner through valuation, negotiation and closing, and then hand the clinic to the integration team. The deals are often with vets who built their practice themselves, so the work is as much about trust as it is about numbers.

What you'll do

  • Identify and approach acquisition targets, and build a pipeline in a market where most clinics are independently owned
  • Build valuation models and investment cases, and present them to regional senior leadership
  • Negotiate terms with clinic owners, in German, and lead due diligence with external advisors
  • Work with finance, operations and integration teams so each deal delivers what the business case promised
  • Support the team's wider European growth plans where experience in Poland is useful
  • Travel regularly within Germany to visit clinics and meet owners in person, as most relationships and deals are built on site

The team

You will join the MVH Europe Business Development Team, reporting directly to the Business Development Senior Manager and working alongside experienced M&A, integration, and strategy professionals.

Operating in a dynamic, high-energy, and fast-paced healthcare environment, our team combines sharp commercial acumen and analytical rigor with a high-touch, relationship-first approach. We operate with high autonomy and cross-border collaboration, partnering closely with country management teams across brands like AniCura and Linnaeus to drive sustainable growth that supports high-quality patient care.

What we’re looking for

  • 6+ years in M&A, corporate development, deal advisory, private equity or acquisition-led business development, with acquisitions you have personally taken from origination to close
  • Financial modelling skills: valuations, investment cases and budgets
  • Negotiation experience with founders or owner-managers, and the judgement to handle sensitive conversations
  • Experience in roll-up or buy-and-build strategies
  • Fluent German and English
  • A degree or equivalent experience
  • Experience in veterinary care, healthcare, dental or other multi-site clinic businesses is preferred, but not mandatory
  • Willingness and ability to travel approximately 20% of the time across clinic sites and attend regular in-person meetings at the Munich office.

What we offer

  • Attractive base salary alongside an annual performance-related bonus scheme.
  • A modern working model supporting hybrid arrangements and work-life balance.
  • Employee assistance programs, and dedicated wellbeing initiatives.
  • Tailored leadership development programs, access to the Mars Talent and Development Library, and internal international mobility opportunities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
