Executive Assistant
Executive Assistant – M&A Transactions | Edinburgh | Hybrid workingIf you thrive in fast-moving, high-trust environments and love being at the heart of complex, high-impact work, this could be a standout next step in your EA career.This is a rare opportunity to support a senior commercial leader and an M&A team during live transactions — mergers, acquisitions and strategic deals that genuinely shape the future of the business. You’ll be trusted with sensitive information, relied on during critical moments, and valued as a true partner rather than “just” support.It’s a role for someone who stays calm under pressure, thinks two steps ahead, and enjoys the pace and intensity that comes with deal work.What you’ll be doingYou’ll play a central role across active M&A transactions, providing seamless support from early diligence through to signing and closing. This includes coordinating timelines, managing documentation, supporting data rooms, and keeping everyone aligned when deadlines are tight and priorities shift.You’ll manage complex diaries and meetings involving senior stakeholders and external advisors, ensuring everyone is prepared and briefed. You’ll often be the glue between legal, finance, strategy and external parties, keeping communication flowing smoothly.You’ll also support meetings by capturing actions and decisions, tracking follow-ups, and maintaining clear records. Travel coordination (often at short notice) will be part of the role, as will preparing polished presentations and materials for boards, investment committees and senior executives.Alongside this, you’ll help manage the logistics around deal meetings, workshops, management presentations and signing events — always with an eye for detail and professionalism.Why this role is differentThis isn’t a traditional EA role. You’ll be embedded in live transactions, trusted with confidential information, and relied upon during some of the most important moments in the deal cycle. You’ll work closely with other Executive Assistants, gain real exposure to how deals run behind the scenes, and build experience that few EA roles offer.What we’re looking forYou’ll already have experience supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced, confidential environment — ideally within M&A, corporate development, investment banking, private equity, legal or professional services.You’re highly organised, unflappable under pressure, and naturally proactive. You spot issues before they become problems, manage competing priorities with confidence, and take pride in producing accurate, high-quality work. Strong Microsoft Office skills (especially PowerPoint) are essential, as is discretion, sound judgement and professionalism.Familiarity with transaction processes, deal timelines and executive-level governance would be a strong advantage.Why apply?If you’re looking for a role where you’re genuinely involved, trusted, stretched and valued — and where no two days look the same — this is an opportunity to build a highly credible EA career at the sharp end of commercial decision-making, with the flexibility of hybrid working based in Edinburgh.
