Deals Strategy Director

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Deals Strategy Director to lead complex transaction strategy, separation, and integration engagements. This senior role focuses on delivering clear, commercially grounded outcomes for investors, corporates, and private equity clients, while mentoring senior team members and driving practice development initiatives.

You will work closely with Partners to guide senior client discussions, challenge assumptions, and design integration programs that create real value. This role offers a clear and structured pathway to Partnership for the right candidate.

What you’ll do

• Support the Partners by leading transaction strategy, separation, and integration engagements, ensuring delivery of commercially grounded outcomes.
• Define engagement hypotheses and analysis linking deal rationale to operational value drivers.
• Challenge synergy, stranded-cost, and business-plan assumptions to ensure analytical rigour and strategic relevance.
• Design carve-out, stand-up, and integration programs, establishing PMO governance and Day 1 / Day 2 readiness frameworks.
• Guide senior client discussions and workshops, translating insights into board-level recommendations.
• Build and nurture senior relationships with investors, C-suites, and deal teams.
• Coach Managers and Senior Managers, fostering commercial judgement and delivery excellence.
• Drive practice development initiatives — tools, frameworks, and thought leadership.
• Lead origination and client-development efforts by identifying new opportunities and driving proposal strategy.
• Collaborate across service lines to support integrated transactions advisory solutions.

What we’re looking for

• Significant experience in M&A strategy, separation, and integration advisory within a leading consulting or advisory firm.
• Strong technical and commercial expertise in synergy analysis, carve-outs, and integration planning.
• Proven ability to manage complex engagements and deliver high-quality outcomes.
• Excellent leadership and team development skills.
• Professional qualifications (CA, CPA, CFA, or MBA) highly regarded.

What we bring

A cutting-edge newly created Professional Services firm and the opportunity to step away from what is rapidly becoming an outdated Partnership model.

A clearly defined vision and a group of market-leading founders who want to reshape what a Professional Services firm looks like.

Why we’re the right fit for you

• The opportunity to be part of a new Professional Services firm that will re-define what is possible.
• A dynamic, collaborative culture and the chance to work alongside market-leading professionals.
• Ongoing professional development and clear opportunities to grow your career.
• Exposure to prestigious clients including private equity firms, corporates, and investors.
