The Opportunity
We are hiring a Manager to lead execution across the firm's M&A mandates. You will run deal teams, own the analysis and the client narrative, and work directly with partners on live processes. This is a role with real ownership from day one and a clear path toward Associate Partner.
Key Responsibilities

- Manage and develop deal teams, structuring the work and holding the quality bar across modelling, diligence, and documentation.

- Act as a day to day point of contact for clients, coordinating internal teams, legal advisers, and counterparties to deliver on time and to standard.
- Support negotiation and diligence workstreams through to signing and close.
- Begin building the client relationships and commercial instincts that lead to origination at the next level.
