Our Client
Our client is a boutique consulting firm operating across the full deal environment, from financial through to post-deal value creation and operational excellence. They work alongside PE sponsors, corporates, and management teams on the transactions that matter most, bringing a senior, hands-on delivery model rather than a large-firm, leverage-heavy approach.
Integration & Separation
Integration & Separation is one of the firm's core service lines and a strategic priority for growth. Supporting clients through carve-outs, mergers, TSAs, Day 1 readiness, and post-close integration, often working alongside the firm's DD and value creation colleagues to give clients a single, joined-up view across the deal lifecycle.
The Opportunity
As the practice scales, the firm is hiring senior consulting professionals to help lead delivery on live engagements, build out the practice's methodology and capability, and play a visible role in business development. This is a genuine build role for someone who wants equity in the outcome of a growing practice, not just a seat within an established one.
Key Responsibilities
- Delivery: Lead and deliver complex integration and separation engagements end-to-end, from Day 1 planning and synergy/dis-synergy quantification through to TSA design, functional workstream integration, and post-deal tracking.
- Client Leadership: Act as the primary day-to-day client contact on engagements, managing PE sponsors, corporate development teams, and portfolio company management through ambiguous, fast-moving situations.
- Business Development: Shape and deliver proposals, contribute to thought leadership, and build relationships with PE and corporate clients to help convert the firm's DD relationships into I&S mandates.
- Team Development: Manage, coach, and develop consultants and managers on engagements; contribute to recruitment as the practice grows.
- Practice Building: Help develop and refine the firm's I&S methodology, tools, and accelerators, working closely with the DD and value creation teams to strengthen cross-service collaboration.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
