Technology Merger & Acquisition Specialist | To £100k + bonus

Technology Mergers & Acquisitions Specialist

Location: Roughly monthly travel to one of their UK offices + client travel on a consultative basis.
Salary: To £100k, bonus and flexible benefits

We are working with a leading global transformation consultancy that is continuing to invest in its Technology M&A capability. They are looking for an experienced Mergers & Acquisitions Specialist to help shape and grow the offering while leading complex, high-value engagements for major corporate and private equity clients.

This is a senior role for someone who understands the full technology transaction life cycle, from IT due diligence and deal support through to integration, separation and longer-term transformation. You will work across a broad range of sectors, advising clients on how technology can protect deal value, reduce execution risk and accelerate the benefits of a transaction.

You will lead technology assessments covering areas such as IT infrastructure, enterprise applications, ERP platforms, cybersecurity, cloud environments and digital capabilities. The aim is not simply to identify technical issues, but to translate those findings into clear commercial implications for senior stakeholders and deal teams.

Post-deal, you will lead integration and transformation programmes, helping clients harmonise IT operating models, consolidate systems, plan cloud migrations and build practical roadmaps for delivering synergies. On carve-outs and divestments, you will shape separation strategies, define Transitional Service Agreements, plan data migrations and ensure business continuity throughout the process.

You will also play an important role in growing the practice. This will include developing propositions, building capability within the wider team, supporting client conversations and leading proposals, pitches and bids. You will be expected to develop trusted senior relationships and contribute towards generating approximately £1m in consulting revenue.

Alongside client delivery, there will be opportunities to influence the direction of the practice through thought leadership, proposition development, recruitment, internal initiatives and the development of junior consultants.

We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:

• Significant experience leading IT M&A engagements within consulting
• Strong knowledge of IT due diligence, post-merger integration and technology separation
• Experience delivering complex, high-value transactions across multiple technology workstreams
• A strong understanding of enterprise architecture, cloud platforms, cybersecurity and ERP environments
• Experience with platforms such as SAP, Oracle, AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
• The ability to turn technical findings into clear commercial advice
• Experience identifying synergies, modelling costs and quantifying technology-related deal risks
• Strong leadership skills, with experience managing multidisciplinary teams
• Credibility with senior client stakeholders, including CIO, CTO and deal leadership teams
• Evidence of winning work, developing propositions and creating follow-on opportunities

You may currently be working within a major consultancy, specialist M&A advisory firm or an industry role following an earlier consulting career. Experience operating within a Matrix organisation and building support across wider teams would be particularly valuable.

This is a strong opportunity to join a growing team with the backing, client relationships and reach of a global organisation. You will have the freedom to shape the role, develop new offerings and build a visible position within the Technology M&A market.

The business offers hybrid and flexible working, although candidates must be comfortable travelling to client sites and spending periods away from home where assignments require it. A competitive salary, performance-related bonus and flexible benefits package are available.
