   • Interface with all levels of business and technology leadership at clients.
2. Practice Development
   • Build data-driven methodologies and assets for evaluating software businesses in a due diligence capacity, and manage related internal initiatives.
   • Enhance analysis and presentation frameworks used in technology due diligence and technology advisory engagements.
   • Collaborate with a team of software, infrastructure, and security architects and consultants to elevate the technology advisory capabilities of the M&A team.
   • Participate actively in performance management processes.
   • Contribute to recruiting and retaining top-quality consultants.
   • Assist with company campus and experienced recruiting.
3. Business Development
   • Support opportunities to provide prospects and clients with post-close technology advisory for middle-market technology businesses; collaborate with practice partners to support these opportunities.
   • Create work plans, pricing estimates, and risk assessments for prospects.
   • Participate in M&A industry events.
   • Understand client investment needs/constraints and help tailor proposals accordingly.
   • Attend networking events and actively build and leverage a professional network and affiliate network in the local community.

Qualifications:

• 4+ years participating in team-based, client-facing management or technology consulting or IT M&A experience at a corporate strategic level is preferred.
• Experience in specific technology sub-sectors (e.g., FinTech, Healthcare IT, Marketing Tech, etc.) is preferred but not mandatory.
• Experience in a M&A-centric role, preferably with Private Equity investors, with experience in SaaS or software company mergers/integrations, and/or divestitures.
• Excellent organizational, verbal, and written communication skills.
• In-depth knowledge of project planning methodologies and software development life cycles.
• Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent required.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and quality assurance experience.
• Strong communication skills to work effectively with C-level clients.
