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 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 for • You’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.
