Project Manager

About The Role

Morgan & Westfield is a leading M&A firm specializing in business sales, mergers, acquisitions, and valuations for privately owned businesses in the United States.

We are looking for a client-facing Project Manager who can work autonomously, manage projects end-to-end, solve problems, and maintain exceptional attention to detail.

This is not a sales role or one where you assign work. Daily, you will communicate with business owners, coordinate multiple client projects, follow up, and keep each stage moving. You will also handle administrative and operational tasks, conduct research, prepare documents, and organize and review financial data.

Legal, financial, and M&A experience is not required. We will teach you our industry and processes.

This role is suited to someone seeking a stable, long-term career and the opportunity to grow with Morgan & Westfield. Your previous title matters less than your ability to take ownership, think clearly, and deliver reliable work.
