Job description

Vice President Transactions Advisory Services:

Kroll’s Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) practice provides seamless analytical advisory through the deal continuum, from transaction origination, closing, value creation to exit.

We have an established, and truly global, TAS practice, that has multi-disciplinary capabilities across strategic / commercial, financial, tax, operations and IT / cyber due diligence.

We are now investing to grow our Technology & Digital Strategy Diligence capability, especially in our EMEA region, to complement our broader TAS capabilities. This is a rare opportunity to join – and make your own mark in – a team in its “high growth” phase, with unmatched benefits and challenges:

• Strong contribution to shaping and driving the growth of the Kroll’s TAS business in our EMEA region as well as globally
• High levels of responsibility and autonomy
• Contribution to work-winning, client development and execution opportunities based on an issues-lead approach across a range of sectors – variety and stretch
• Opportunities to work alongside colleagues on multi-disciplinary projects as part of a collegiate and entrepreneurial group
• Flexible and performance-based reward structure that is based on a “one-firm” approach and not constrained by territorial / personal boundaries
• Real opportunity for accelerated progression
• Receiving an intensive on the job training to increase your understanding of the mechanisms of buy- and sell-side M&A processes; and
• Your allocated mentor will support you in your personnel and professional development

Day to day responsibilities:

The strategic objective for TAS is to expand into the corporate and private equity markets where work-winning is based more on a combination of content-lead account management and delivery rather than the traditional execution-only role with work-winning being primarily a Partner responsibility. The successful implementation of this go-to-market route requires a highly engaged, more senior team that has the experience and appetite to challenge traditional models. Key responsibilities as a Vice President will include:

• Work on planning, executing and delivering technology & digital transformation and transaction services, primarily operational and tech/digital due diligence in buy- and sell-side transactions, carve-outs, or in post-merger integrations
• Develop hypotheses / insights on key issues and actively contribute to the wider team discussion
• Define and conduct appropriate primary and secondary research, and quantitative analyses, to validate hypotheses and address all scope areas
• Competently build robust and transparent market models and analytical spreadsheets
• Collaborate with project team members – often across disciplines – to flag and address emerging diligence issues
• Contribute to drafting a robust, well-structured report, that captures key findings and conclusions; and
• Work closely with the broader team to ensure the application of sound project management principles and quality assurance at all stages and phases of projects

Essential Traits:

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree from a renowned university/ business school - a major in information systems, business administration, digital transformation, finance or similar is preferred
• Strong interest in technology & a digital enthusiast
• Ambitious and intellectually curious
• As Vice President with demonstrable years of technology due diligence or equivalent experience
• As a Vice President, previous work experience in transaction consulting or in a comparable environment (e.g. M&A, IT, digital or strategy consulting) required
• Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills
• Demonstrated interpersonal and client relationships skills
• Proven written and verbal communication skills
• Demonstrated proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel modelling and data analysis
• Fluent in German, proficient in English
• Experience working with diverse teams; and
• Flexibility to travel, as needed
