What this hire actually owns.

Deal teams looking for one person who runs the mechanics of a transaction from process letter to closing checklist, so bankers and associates stay on the analysis.

Own

Owns the virtual data room in Datasite, Intralinks, or DealRoom: folder structure, uploads, permissions, and the access log.

Translate

Turns buyer and seller questions into a Q&A tracker with owners and due dates, and routes each answer back through the right person.

Protect

Holds the process-letter dates and the closing checklist so nothing reaches signing with an open item nobody noticed.

Why this seat is hard to fill.

A transaction has a hundred moving parts that are not analysis: process letters, a virtual data room that grows every day, a buyer Q&A tracker with three hundred open rows, and a closing checklist that counsel on both sides edit at once. When nobody owns those, an associate does them at night. The coordinators who keep it clean usually learned at a bank, an advisory firm, or a law firm's deal team, and the next deal team asks for them by name.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the M&A deal coordinators who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Anyone who has kept a data room clean through a closing gets asked back for the next deal, and their team does not let them drift.
  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • A data-room exercise: a messy folder dump organised into a standard index, with permission groups set for two bidders who must not see each other's materials.
  • A tracker exercise: forty buyer questions, duplicates and all, assigned, merged, and turned into a status note the deal lead can read in a minute.
  • The same scorecard and reference checks we run on our own hires, with references from the people who actually managed them. We put forward only people we would hire ourselves.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

We say no more often than we say yes.

  • Associates or analysts run data rooms and Q&A trackers instead of the analysis.
  • You run several processes a year and each one rebuilds the mechanics from scratch.
  • You want someone who already knows how a closing checklist moves.
  • You need legal review of documents or disclosure schedules.
  • You need someone to lead negotiations.
  • You close one deal every few years.
