Job Description

Meraki Talent has been exclusively retained by Noble & Co to appoint a Corporate Finance Associate as part of the firm’s continued growth.

This is a hands-on execution role within a lean, high-calibre team advising on mid-market M&A and equity fundraising mandates. Typical deal sizes are in the high tens of millions to hundreds of millions of pounds.

The firm competes on judgement, pace and delivery against significantly larger advisory platforms. This is not a process-heavy environment. It is a delivery-led one.

The Role

You will work directly with senior leadership and take responsibility for running transactions day-to-day across the whole process to completion.

Responsibilities include

Running M&A and equity fundraising mandates

Managing full transaction processes post-origination

Acting as a client-facing representative

Coordinating advisers, investors and counterparties

Supporting Originators with pitches and new mandate development

Mentoring, training and setting standards for junior team members

Judgement, ownership and execution discipline are critical. You will be trusted to deliver outcomes, not just produce materials.

This role will suit someone who

Has strong M&A and fundraising execution experience

Has closed transactions in the £50m–>£100m+ range

Is comfortable operating in a lean, accountable environment

Can engage directly with CEOs, founders and investors

Knowledge and use of AI-related agent tools would be advantageous.

What’s on Offer

Genuine autonomy and responsibility

Direct exposure to decision-makers

High-quality deal flow

A platform where contribution is visible

Minimal bureaucracy

This is a long-term opportunity for someone who wants to build credibility, not simply rotate through roles.

All applications and enquiries relating to this role will be managed directly by Dean Gorrie at Meraki Talent.
