Transaction Associate
You’d be surprised to learn that most of what you know and love is backed by private equity: consumer products, fashion, fast food. Private equity moves the world, but the systems that are supposed to keep it moving are stuck 20 years in the past. Share transfers, new issues, other corporate actions and compliance, or transactions as we call them, happen on a daily basis in Private Equity. Data is collected via email, hundreds of documents are manually prepared and signed. Data on who owns what lives in spreadsheets, manually stitched together from the myriad of legal documents, resulting in conflicting versions of cap tables and long email threads. That stitching is often done by time-crunched investment professionals who want to create value, not reconcile cells. All it takes is one error to spoil meticulously kept ownership records, not the sort of surprise you want mid-exit. Enter Centi. Bringing together brilliant minds from finance, law, and tech, we’re building the infrastructure that’s taking the industry from 2005 to the present day. Our platform codifies ownership, our agents automate the transactions, and together they turn static cap tables into live, auditable systems of record. We make ownership management trustworthy so that top-tier private equity funds can do what they do best: compound value until exit.
About the role
Transactions in Private Equity involve many parties: PE professionals, lawyers, tax experts, financial experts, portfolio company management and fund administration. Our agents remove the stressful steps in a transaction and auto-generate the outputs. But timelines move, processes get compressed and parties get replaced.
Your role is to make sure every party has what they need to complete their task, that nothing falls through the cracks, and that the transaction closes on time.
You will join Centi Client Services, a team of twelve where your contributions have immediate, visible impact. You will be involved in transactions from day one, coordinating and driving them forward. From kickoff to closing, you are the one who knows where every document, signature and party stands, and the one everyone calls when the timeline moves.
You’ll operate at the crossroads of legal, product, and customer success, helping scale Centi across markets while working directly with leading private equity funds and top-tier counsel. Our flat organisational structure empowers you to spot a need, propose an idea, and drive it from start to finish.
What a day could include
Assist with the coordination and execution of transactions and mapping out who needs to deliver what.
Internal and external contact with clients, investors, advisors, and colleagues.
Document management and work in the Centi platform and other digital tools.
Updates of share registers and ownership records.
Support with corporate formalities, compliance, or onboarding of new clients and investors.
Research, such as compiling client, market and regulatory information.
Who are we looking for
Transactions move fast, and no two days at Centi look the same. That's how you like it. When timelines compress, you reprioritise without losing track of a single detail. You are unpretentious and roll up your sleeves when needed, whether that means chasing a final signature or preparing next week's completion before anyone asks. You work ahead of the process, not behind it. You don't need a PE background, but genuine curiosity about the industry and a willingness to learn will take you far here.
Have worked 3+ years as an executive assistant, coordinator or paralegal, ideally supporting transactions at an M&A law firm.
A natural problem-solver who spots where a process is breaking and works with our tech team to fix it.
You are diligent, structured and have an eye for detail so nothing is missed.
A clear communicator who keeps many parties aligned, informed and moving, from PE professionals to portfolio company management.
Curious about technology and excited about AI, you do not need to be technical, but you should be genuinely interested in learning.
Why join Centi
Work in an AI-native high paced environment which is defining how PE funds will operate in the future.
Own transactions end to end. You run the process rather than chasing signature pages for someone else.
Receive ownership in Centi from day one and be part of Centi’s journey
Join a team of ex-PE professionals and ex-M&A lawyers from White & Case and Roschier.
Centi is trusted by Nordic Capital, Bridgepoint, Fidelio, and more than 20 other funds across Europe. Every fund and Portfolio Company who has started with Centi has stayed.
