Creating value in Deals is in our DNA. Working closely with our Deal Teams on a wide array of corporate finance situations, including acquisitions and divestures, IPO’s, Post Merger Integrations and operational synergies development, you will be at the forefront of the deals market. You will be working with the most senior Partners in the business to challenge, design and deploy innovative and fully comprehensive value creation programs in the industry.

What we look for We are seeking exceptional people with exceptional backgrounds from Consulting as well as industry. Candidate description You will have a demonstrable achievement and progression in your career to date, having worked in Italy, the UK or in EMEA with a track record of completed projects and Client and Practice Development. You will have excellent academic achievement (Bachelor’s degree typically in mathematics, finance, economics, engineering and a Masters/MBA, achieved from a world leading education institution). You will probably have 7-10 years of consulting experience matured at a top tier firm, focused on transformation, organizational redesign, cost optimization, corporate strategy and operating model redesign, or a similar experience in a leading Technology company, Bank or Insurance Group, focusing on cost management, transformation or digital strategy.

You will understand how to enable programs to deliver results at various phases of the engagement lifecycle through process and delivery mechanisms. You will be fluent in Italian and English, being able to effectively work and present to senior stakeholders in both languages, with a third European language being a plus. Experience in developing, managing and executing transformational programs on mid-cap companies or private equity portfolio investments is a strong plus. Diversity Valuing Difference.
