M&A Project Manager (M/W)

Under the responsibility of the Head of M&A, you will play a crucial role in supporting the execution of the Group's music catalogue acquisition strategy.

You will be responsible for managing music catalogue acquisition processes and ensuring efficient execution of asset acquisitions from pricing to deal closing and integration, within a vibrant, creative ecosystem, working closely with senior executives, entrepreneurs, producers, publishers, and artists.

The position is based in Luxembourg. Travel to the Group's headquarters in Paris will be required on an as-needed basis, depending on business needs.

Key Responsibilities:

Deal execution:

Analyze past catalogue performance, model future cash flows, and determine acquisition price. You will bring a "hands-on" approach to our catalogue deal flow, showcasing a talent for "financial archaeology" — extracting value and clarity from raw data to support informed decision-making in a fast-paced small-cap environment

Data Management & Automation   : Clean, harmonize, and aggregate large volumes of complex data (catalogue reports, CSV/Excel, PDFs) using advanced tools (Power Query, macros, Python, SQL) or AI/LLM technologies to streamline asset analysis and automate reporting dashboards for publishing and recording catalogues.

Coordinate and oversee the due diligence process, including financial, legal, IP, and tax reviews

Negotiate key business and financial terms of the transactions in collaboration with the M&A Senior Lawyer (non-binding agreements, asset purchase agreements)

Prepare detailed investment memoranda and presentations for internal and external stakeholders

Prepare post-acquisition integration kick-off meetings, anticipating integration of the catalogues in close collaboration with the PMI team

Master's degree in business or finance

Experience: You have at least 3 years of experience in Transaction Services, M&A advisory, or Corporate M&A (experience in IP acquisition is a plus)

Hard Skills:

Proven ability to operate credibly with entrepreneurs, senior executives, and investors

Data Processing & Analytics : Strong ability to manage, process, and consolidate large datasets. Hands-on experience with data automation tools (Power Query, macros, Python, SQL, or AI/Generative LLM prompt execution for data workflows) applied to financial or operational data.

Advanced proficiency in Excel/Sheets and PowerPoint/Slides

Excellent financial, valuation, and strategic analysis skills

Fluent English required, French is a strong plus
