Mergers & Acquisitions Director
He's probably an important person in the firm. If in charge of deciding of the whole shebang, I would say director.

CHARGE D\'AFFAIRES (Fr. for \" in charge of business \"), the title of two classes of diplomatic agents, (i) Charges d\'affaires (ministres charges d\'affaires), who were placed by the reglement of the congress of Vienna in the 4th class of diplomatic agents, are heads of permanent missions accredited to countries to which, for some reason, it is not possible or not desirable to send agents of a higher rank. They are distinguished from these latter by the fact that their credentials are addressed by the minister for foreign affairs of the state which they are to represent to the minister for foreign affairs of the receiving state. Though still occasionally accredited, ministers of this class are now rare. They have precedence over the other class of charges d\'affaires. (2) Charges d\'affaires per interim, or charges des affaires, are those who are presented as such, either verbally or in writing, by heads of missions of the first, second or third rank to the minister for foreign affairs of the state to which they are accredited, when they leave their post temporarily, or pending the arrival of their successor. It is usual to appoint a counsellor or secretary of legation charge d\'affaires. Some governments are accustomed to give the title of minister to such charges d\'affaires, which ranks them with the other heads of legation. Essentially charges d\'affaires do not differ from ambassadors, envoys or ministers resident. They represent their nation, and enjoy the same privileges and immunities as other diplomatic agents (see DIPLOMACY).

Depending on how a company organizes its work, could be a business manager, as you say, someone who looks after ALL business, or a project manager, someone who looks after one or more separate projects, but not necessarily all work being carried out concurrently.
It's also often a synonym for attaché commercial, salesman, sales engineer, etc.

charg� d'affaires
officer in charge of M&A
This is in the glossary, see the link below. I agree that charge d'affaires is not the best choice in English in this particular context. (see the comments on the link's answer)
