Head of M&A to Indutrade BA Life Science

Indutrade is an international technology and industrial business group founded in 1978 and listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. The group

consists of over 220 companies across some 30 countries, primarily in Europe, with net sales of SEK 32.5 billion in 2024.

Indutrade’s business philosophy is built on entrepreneurship, decentralisation and sustainable, profitable growth – the group

acquires and develops owner-managed, profitable companies with significant technical content in selected niches.

The Business Area Life Science includes both technical trading companies and companies with proprietary products. Companies sell

components, medical technology products, diagnostics equipment, production equipment and system solutions to customers within the

pharmaceutical, healthcare and life science industries across Scandinavia, the UK and Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy,

Poland, the Czech Republic and Spain.

As Head of M&A within the Life Science Business Area, you will serve as the overall project leader for the BA’s proactive

acquisition deal flow. You will be responsible for the full M&A process — from identifying and contacting prospects, conducting

initial and follow-up meetings, and building the internal business case. This includes managing NBO offers, due diligence, SPA

negotiations, closing and onboarding. This does not mean you execute all steps alone, you are accountable for ensuring they are

carried out in a timely and professional manner using the right resources across the organisation.

The Business Area has executed 6-8 acquisitions per year in recent years, split between standalone acquisitions and add-on

acquisitions with the ambition to further increase deal flow. The role is an important platform position with significant internal

and external interaction, and you will report to the Head of BA.

You will collaborate closely with Business Segment Leaders, MD:s of subsidiary companies, Indutrade’s central M&A team and

country-based M&A resources across Europe. A key part of the role is building a strong internal network and ensuring that sourcing

activity is continuously driven forward across all markets.

You are a commercially minded, structured and relationship-oriented professional who thrives in a high-paced, entrepreneurial

to tailor your approach to different cultures and markets.

transactions end-to-end
