Job description

Your new job | About your main responsibilities

As a Senior Consultant in EY-Parthenon’s Strategy and Execution team, you play a key role in helping clients navigate complex transactions and transformations. You work across the full deal lifecycle, covering divestments, integrations, and value creation. In this role, you support decisions that directly impact business performance and long‑term value, working with leading corporates and investors on high‑impact, often large‑scale transactions.

We work end‑to‑end across the transaction lifecycle. On the sell side, we help clients prepare and separate businesses, from defining the transaction perimeter and designing standalone operating models and costing to executing the carve‑out. On the buy side, we work with clients to evaluate carved‑out acquisition targets, define integration strategies, and realise synergies. Beyond the transaction, we continue to work alongside clients to realise change, challenge status quo, capture synergies, and deliver measurable improvements in performance.

Lead and execute in‑depth analyses on business performance, cost structures, and operations, translating comingled data into clear insights and actionable recommendations.
Structure complex problems and translate them into clear, actionable solutions, guiding workstreams from initial hypothesis through to implementation.
Assess organisational setups and develop robust solutions, including standalone financials, operating model designs, and separation or integration approaches.
Build robust business cases for synergies, cost optimisation, and broader value creation opportunities, and support their realisation.
Translate strategic priorities into concrete actions and drive their execution to deliver tangible results.
Work closely with clients to guide decision‑making, align stakeholders, and maintain momentum in fast‑paced, high‑impact environments.
Support and develop junior team members through coaching, feedback, and hands‑on guidance, helping them grow while ensuring long‑term, high‑quality delivery.
Collaborate with managers and senior stakeholders to refine hypotheses, challenge thinking, and steer overall project delivery.

Your new team | About your colleagues and the office

In this role, you work on mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, supporting clients on decisions that materially impact their business. This can range from targeted acquisitions to more complex, large‑scale transactions. You operate at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology, contributing to topics such as transaction strategy, operational due diligence, value creation, divestitures, and integrations, with a clear focus on delivering tangible outcomes.

You are part of a close‑knit team with a shared ambition, while bringing together a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. We work in a collaborative and supportive environment, where you learn from experienced colleagues, receive regular feedback, and have the opportunity to develop yourself quickly.

Your office: Amsterdam

Our Amsterdam office is located at the Zuidas: a bustling area full of companies. In our Cross Towers, we welcome up to 1,500 people every day. For a breathtaking view of the city, head to the 22nd floor. Collaboration takes on a new meaning in our Wavespace, a high‑tech environment that connects clients and colleagues virtually across the globe.

A minimum of 2-3 years relevant M&A experience or corporate transformations, preferably from corporate M&A teams, strategy consulting or big 4 firms.
A Master’s degree in a Science, Engineering or Business Administration related field.
Knowledge of and experience with operational aspects of M&A including due diligence, planning, synergies, value creation and / or post‑close transformation.
An aptitude for qualitative and quantitative analysis and the ability to link business strategy to performance.
The ability to lead and communicate effectively with sound reasoning, preferably in client‑facing roles.
