We are free from audit conflicts and AI-enabled by design, combining deep technical expertise with automation, analytics, and AI built into the delivery of every engagement. We are building an alternative to traditional advisory firms, focused on clarity over complexity, outcomes over hours, and practical advice delivered at pace for CFOs making high-consequence decisions.
We are now looking for a Senior Manager – Deals Analytics to join our growing team.
The Role
As a Deals and Value Creation Senior Manager in the Deals team, you will play a pivotal role in delivering advanced analytics and strategic insights to help our clients make better financial and commercial decisions throughout the deal lifecycle. You will be supporting both buy-side and sell-side transactions and delivering post-deal value creation style projects, through the deployment of advanced analytics and AI, leveraging your commercial expertise and deals know-how.
The Deals unit specialises in Deal Readiness, Value Creation, Decision Support, and Reporting Insights. In this role, you will lead projects across these areas challenging the status quo, harnessing cutting-edge data analysis (including AI/ LLM tools), and collaborating closely with clients, other advisors, and colleagues to drive tangible results.
This role will also be pivotal in supporting our FDD team to reimagine the world of diligence, reducing reliance on low-value reporting and increasing client commercial value delivered through insightful analytics that evidence what matters most.
This is a client-facing, hands-on position in a fast-growing start-up/ scale-up environment, offering the chance to work on high-impact engagements and help build a new kind of consultancy from the ground up.
