• Manage and coordinate external advisers including investment banks, accountants, consultants and lawyers.
• Act as a central point of coordination between management, the PE sponsor and external advisory teams.
• Track key deliverables, dependencies, risks and critical decisions across the transaction.
• Support the preparation and coordination of key transaction materials and management outputs.
• Ensure senior stakeholders have clear visibility over progress, issues and priorities throughout the process.
• Drive accountability across internal and external teams to maintain momentum towards a successful exit.

Candidate Profile

• Proven experience leading or playing a senior role in large-scale, multi-billion-pound exit processes.
• Deep understanding of the transaction lifecycle and the demands of a complex private equity exit.
• Strong track record managing multiple transaction workstreams and coordinating external advisers.
• Investment banking background highly desirable, ideally followed by experience operating within a private equity-backed portfolio company.
• Experience partnering directly with C-suite executives and senior private equity professionals.
• Strong programme management capability with the ability to coordinate complex, interdependent workstreams at pace.
• Infrastructure sector experience advantageous.
• Excellent commercial judgement and the ability to identify and resolve transaction-critical issues quickly.
• Able to operate with authority and credibility in a high-pressure, highly scrutinised transaction environment.
• Comfortable taking a hands-on approach while maintaining oversight of the wider exit programme.
