Investment Operations & Deal Execution Coordinator
(Legal / Contracts / Deal Process Focus)
Our Client is a privately backed international investment firm focused on acquiring and managing assets within the real assets / natural resources / infrastructure space. Operating across Europe with a growing global footprint, they execute multiple transactions each year and work closely with external advisers and internal stakeholders to deliver deals efficiently and commercially.
The business is entrepreneurial, fast-moving, and highly collaborative. While their transactions can be complex, their culture is pragmatic and relationship-driven. They value people who take ownership, communicate calmly, and keep momentum moving behind the scenes.
This role supports a senior investment and legal leadership team, with line management based internationally and day-to-day collaboration conducted in English.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a highly organised, commercially aware Deal Execution / Legal Operations professional to support the smooth delivery of investment transactions from documentation through to signing.
This is not a negotiation role and not a senior legal position. Instead, it is ideal for someone who enjoys managing contracts, paperwork, approvals, and internal coordination, and who takes pride in ensuring deals close efficiently and correctly.
