Descripción del empleo

Our client is a boutique consulting firm operating across the full deal environment, from financial through to post-deal value creation and operational excellence. They work alongside PE sponsors, corporates and management teams on the transactions that matter most, bringing a senior, hands-on delivery model rather than a large-firm, leverage-heavy approach.

Integration & Separation is one of the firm's core service lines and a strategic priority for growth. Supporting clients through carve-outs, mergers, TSAs, Day 1 readiness and post-close integration, often working alongside the firm's DD and value creation colleagues to give clients a single, joined-up view across the deal lifecycle.

The Opportunity

As the practice scales, the firm is hiring senior consulting professionals to help lead delivery on live engagements, build out the practice's methodology and capability, and play a visible role in business development. This is a genuine build role for someone who wants equity in the outcome of a growing practice, not just a seat within an established one.

Key Responsibilities

• Delivery: Lead and deliver complex integration and separation engagements end-to-end, from Day 1 planning and synergy/dis-synergy quantification through to TSA design, functional workstream integration and post-deal tracking.
• Client leadership: Act as the primary day-to-day client contact on engagements, managing PE sponsors, corporate development teams and portfolio company management through ambiguous, fast-moving situations.
• Business development: Shape and deliver proposals, contribute to thought leadership, and build relationships with PE and corporate clients to help convert the firm's DD relationships into I&S mandates.
• Team development: Manage, coach and develop consultants and managers on engagements; contribute to recruitment as the practice grows.
• Practice building: Help develop and refine the firm's I&S methodology, tools and accelerators, working closely with the DD and value creation teams to strengthen cross-service collaboration.

Candidate Profile

• Background: Significant integration and/or separation experience gained in a consulting environment (Big 4 deals practice, strategy house, or specialist boutique) and/or in-house M&A/integration leadership.
• Track record: A strong track record leading workstreams or full engagements on carve-outs, mergers, or post-merger integration programmes, ideally within a PE-backed context.
• Client presence: Commercially credible with PE and corporate clients; comfortable operating at pace with senior stakeholders and imperfect information.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: A genuine interest in helping build a practice, comfortable with the ambiguity and opportunity that comes with a growth-stage team, rather than a fully-formed one.
• Leadership: Strong people leadership experience, with the credibility to develop junior team members and eventually help shape the team around them.

Why Join

• Build, not maintain: Genuine influence over the shape and direction of a practice earmarked for growth, rather than a defined role in a fixed structure.
• Boutique model: A senior, hands-on culture with direct partner access and visibility, rather than a large-firm leverage model.
• Progression: A path to partnership for the right candidate as the practice scales.
