At EY, we’re committed to shaping your future with confidence and delivering value to clients through a globally connected network of diverse teams.

The opportunity

EY-Parthenon combines transformative strategy, transactions, tax and corporate finance to deliver real‑world value. We partner with CEOs, boards, private equity and governments to solve complex problems with an investor mindset, supported by innovative technology and EY’s services network.

EY-Parthenon is looking for an Engagement Manager with significant experience in operational M&A projects, specifically within carve-outs. The role is part of our Nordic practice and can be based in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo, Copenhagen, or Helsinki, working closely with colleagues and clients across the region.

Your key responsibilities

As an Engagement Manager in EY-Parthenon’s carve-out practice, you will help clients navigate complex carve-out transactions and separation programs. You will support both buy-side and sell-side engagements across the full deal lifecycle—from pre‑sign strategy and diligence through post‑sign execution.

You will help organizations make critical decisions that shape business performance, operational readiness, and long‑term value creation. You will work with corporates and investors on high‑profile, complex transactions, and contribute to the growth and evolution of our carve‑out practice, capabilities and team. Some key responsibilities include:

• Leading buy‑ and sell‑side carve‑out engagements from pursuit and scoping through delivery and client management
• Driving carve‑out analyses, standalone operating model design, cost assessments, separation planning, and TSA scoping
• Establishing and leading Separation Management Offices for Day 1 and IPO readiness programs
• Supporting the development and expansion of our carve‑out offering
• Mentoring junior team members and fostering an inclusive, high‑performance team culture

Skills and attributes for success

• Proven experience leading carve‑out and separation programs across the deal lifecycle, gained within strategy consulting, transaction advisory, corporate development, M&A, or a related environment.
• Strong understanding of operational M&A and value creation, with the ability to translate complex transaction challenges into actionable solutions.
• Master’s degree in business and economics, Engineering or equivalent
• Great communication skills, both verbal and written, in English and preferably Swedish or another Nordic language
• Ability to structure and solve complex problems and communicate effectively with senior stakeholders

Ideally, you’ll also

• Have experience from post‑signing related activities, including sign‑to‑close planning, cutover planning, and PMO / Deal team support throughout the transaction life cycle
• Experience from other technical separation topics, including vendor and/or customer contract separation, legal entity structuring and optimization
• Have experience leading value creation related projects, both identification and quantification as well as execution
• Being a team player with the ability to build effective relationships at all levels in EY and with clients, both in the Nordics and internationally

What We Look For

• An agile, business and growth‑oriented mindset. We’re looking for innovative individuals who can work in an agile way and adapt to a changing business environment
• Curiosity and a purpose‑driven approach. We seek people who see opportunities instead of challenges and ask better questions to build a better working world
• Inclusivity. We value individuals who embrace diverse perspectives and work inclusively to build safety and trust

What we offer you

You will join a collaborative and entrepreneurial team environment where you will receive significant responsibility early on and you could develop rapidly as a professional. By joining our team, we offer:

• Opportunity to work on complex and high‑impact engagements with leading Nordic and international clients in high‑stakes transactions environments
• High‑performing, inclusive, collaborative, fun, and entrepreneurial team culture
• Modern offices in central locations in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo, Copenhagen, or Helsinki, and flexible ways of working as part of our Nordic Hybrid Model.
