Senior Consultant for SME & Real Estate Projects with Partnership Prospect

About the job

Entrepreneurs and property owners entrust us with their most important projects, and the demand for comprehensive support is growing. That is why we are strengthening our team. You will lead demanding mandates from the initial conversation to implementation, bring together the expertise of our interdisciplinary team, and be the central contact person for clients and their trusted advisors. All this with a clear prospect of partnership and a stake in SOLVER.

What awaits you in your role at SOLVER

Taking responsibility for mandates from A to Z: As a mandate leader, you independently manage multidisciplinary projects around succession, business transactions, financing, taxes or real estate, steering goals, approaches and timelines. You are the central contact person for our clients, holding all the threads together.

Orchestrating a strong team: For each mandate, you assemble the appropriate team from the experts in our departments, give clear assignments and coordinate collaboration. This way, our clients receive a solid basis for decision-making instead of parallel individual opinions.

Building trust and winning mandates: You maintain and expand our network with trustees, banks, lawyers and family offices, conduct initial talks with entrepreneurs and bring offers to conclusion.

Shaping SOLVER: You further develop our offerings and presence in the region, contribute your ideas and build your path towards partnership and participation in SOLVER.

 What you bring with you

• Track record in mandate management: You have been responsible as a project or mandate leader for several demanding projects involving various disciplines and stakeholders, such as successions, business or real estate transactions, financing or restructurings. You have worked directly with owners and decision-makers and understand what is at stake for them.
• Experience from a suitable environment: for example from corporate banking, a succession centre or structured finance at a bank, deal advisory or a corporate finance boutique, corporate development of an owner-managed group, real estate transactions or as CFO or entrepreneur of an SME with your own transaction experience.
• Sales strength and network: You have demonstrably built new client relationships or initiated business transactions yourself. You maintain relationships with trustees, banks and entrepreneurs, ideally in regions geographically close to our locations in Uster and Baden.
• Persuasiveness and presence: You enjoy approaching people, gaining their trust and finding the right words, whether in the initial conversation with the entrepreneur or at the negotiating table. You appear confident, take responsibility even in difficult situations and make decisions.
• Can-do mentality and ambition: You get things moving, take initiative, lead on equal footing and gladly delegate tasks to specialists rather than doing everything yourself. And you want to become a partner and participate in SOLVER.
• Depth in one field, eye for the whole: You are professionally strong in at least one of our areas and recognise when another discipline needs to come into play.
• Education and language: University degree in business, finance, law or a related field; further training such as MAS, CFA or a Swiss federal diploma is a plus. You are familiar with Swiss German. 

 What we offer you

• Entrepreneurial co-creation. You take on responsibility early, contribute your ideas and actively shape SOLVER entrepreneurially alongside your mandates. Commitment and initiative count more with us than hierarchy or length of service.
• Demanding, multidisciplinary mandates. Our mandates combine tax consulting, analysis and valuation, corporate finance, legal as well as succession and transaction management. You shape demanding projects with direct impact on Swiss companies and their future.
• Professional depth directly in the team: Three certified tax experts, two certified auditors, specialists in financing, valuation and M&A as well as a lawyer. Whoever leads a mandate with us has the necessary expertise just a desk away.
• Clear partner prospect. Within 12 to 24 months, you work towards a stake. We talk early and transparently about the path, expectations and participation modalities.
• Best-in-class corporate culture. We cultivate a friendly, appreciative interaction – in everyday life as well as beyond the job. Trust, straightforwardness, transparency and short decision-making paths characterise our collaboration.
• Work that fits your life – not the other way around. Roles and work models are oriented towards your strengths, needs and life situation. You will find a family-first culture with us, modern pension solutions without coordination deduction and an environment where impact counts more than presence time.
• Location and region. You work where you can most effectively develop your network and market presence. Whether in an established region or building a new location: you actively shape regional development and can simultaneously rely on cross-location structures and the entire SOLVER team.
• Development along your strengths. We do not have a standard career path you must fit into. We promote your professional and personal development with individual training, mentoring, interdisciplinary projects and an environment where knowledge is shared. Your path is oriented towards your strengths, interests and ambitions.
