• Act as the central point of contact between management teams, advisers and stakeholders
• Manage Q&A processes and information requests throughout diligence
• Drive deal governance and reporting across the acquisition pipeline
• Prepare papers and updates for senior leadership and investors
• Support negotiations and help resolve issues that arise during execution
• Ensure transactions complete on time and to a high standard

Candidate Profile

We are looking for individuals who have:

• Significant M&A execution experience gained in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, transaction services or lead advisory environments
• A proven track record leading acquisitions through to completion
• Strong experience managing SPAs, due diligence and external advisers
• Experience working across multiple concurrent transactions
