Executive Assistant – Mergers & Acquisitions
West End, London | £55,000–£65,000 + bonus | 3 days in the office
A leading investment firm is seeking a highly organised and proactive Executive Assistant to support a high-performing M&A team of up to seven individuals.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone with prior experience in M&A or a similarly fast-paced environment, who enjoys taking ownership and thrives when spinning multiple plates. You’ll be central to the team's operations, providing seamless support across diary management, global travel coordination, and expenses—while also acting as the team’s anchor for key project milestones, documentation, and regulatory processes.
The role calls for more than traditional support. You’ll act as the team’s right-hand, helping to ensure best practice, maintaining oversight of time-sensitive activity, and being a go-to point of contact. A confident, solutions-focused approach will be key, alongside the ability to keep things moving in a busy and ever-changing environment.
Key responsibilities:
* Managing complex, high-volume diaries across multiple time zones
* Coordinating international travel and logistics
* Processing and tracking expenses
* Supporting project timelines and managing follow-up actions
* Ensuring all documentation and processes, including NDAs and regulatory requirements, are followed correctly
* Acting as a trusted gatekeeper and point of coordination within the team
* Providing wider team support and acting as a calm, consistent presence
What we’re looking for:
* Proven experience supporting within M&A, private equity, investment banking, or a similar fast-paced setting
* A strong grasp of project coordination and the ability to stay one step ahead
* Excellent organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail
* A warm, resilient personality with a natural sense of humour and a team-first mindset
* Confidence managing sensitive information and dealing with senior stakeholders
This is a fantastic role for someone who enjoys being central to the action, values variety, and is looking to take real ownership in a supportive and well-established team.
