We are looking for our client, a worldwide leader in the sport goods retail (€15 billion sales), a Group M&A Director (M/F). The position is based in Lille (France).
Decathlon has started a journey of deep transformation to switch from a seller of sport goods to a provider of sustainable sport experiences with clear priorities on being a key player to take care of our planet.
To achieve this amazing ambition, one of the strategies is to invest capitalistically and to acquire external companies : investments into mature companies with a proven business model that do complement their strengths (sport brands, ecommerce specialists, sport services …) with no synergies with core business but impact on the growth.
Reporting to the Chief of alliances & new business (board member accountable for all VC, M&A and innovation activites for the Group), your responsibilities will include :
- Leading the analysis of the target company & its relevance for the shared project (synergies with Decathlon)
- Leading the negotiations together with the operation leader, properly anticipating the future (capital increase, human moves, integration…) while creating a robust relationship of trust with the current leaders of the target company
- Leading & animating the due diligence together with the operation leader
- Providing a finalized investment memo with your recommendation
- Leading the preparation and presentations to all our governance institutions (Decathlon and shareholders)
- You might be a board member of some of the companies we invest in
- In addition to that, as a member of the team, you will contribute to the strategy & action plan of the overall team to increase our value creation.
- You have a proven international M&A leadership experience of at least 10 years in a multi-brand company.
- You manage all the financial and legal “tools” and levers to lead negotiations and understand perfectly different kinds of business models and associated KPIs / indicators that drive their successes (services, platform, BTOC, BTOB, industry…).
- You like and succeed in working in a changing and uncertain environment. Your agility and mindset enable you to switch, pivot and adapt action plans quickly.
- Keen to work transversally with different teams, leaders and cultures on several projects at the same time, in a fast-changing environment to contribute to the success of the company.
- You are fluent in English and willing to move to France.
