Job description

In our thriving SSG Finance and ESG teams, growth in new and existing transactional work has created several opportunities for talented individuals to manage transactions from instruction to post‑completion and support the delivery of excellent client service.

This role is your chance to step into a hands‑on, high‑impact position where you’ll be the central point of contact for all stakeholders (internal teams, clients and third parties) and coordinate and drive significant finance transactions seamlessly, collaboratively and proactively.

If you’re someone who enjoys variety, thrives when organising complexity, are eager to learn, and wants to make a difference via socially‑oriented finance work, this is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Manage day‑to‑day non‑legal aspects of multiple transactions, tracking progress, keeping relevant stakeholders updated and ensuring deliverables are met on time.
• Coordinate across departments (Finance, Document Production, Risk, fee earners) and external stakeholders to keep matters progressing smoothly.
• Assist fee earners with standard or ancillary documentation and transaction updates, outlining responsibilities throughout the course of a transaction and managing the delivery of all actions.
• Act as a trusted ambassador for the firm and the team, communicating confidently and proactively with clients and third parties and providing a high level of client service.

Who We’re Looking For

• Experience of working in a comparable role (in professional services, financial services or legal services) managing client‑facing processes or projects.
• Strong organisational and project‑management skills, with the ability to independently manage multiple moving parts and multiple on‑going transactions simultaneously, at times to tight deadlines.
• Confident and consultative stakeholder manager, with evidenced experience of engaging with internal and external stakeholders of all levels.
