Our client is a high performing boutique advisory firm specialising in technology value creation for leading private equity firms and their portfolio companies. They partner with top-tier PE firms across Europe and the US to bridge commercial vision and technology execution, enabling rapid value creation at enterprise scale.
Role Context
We are building a premier Tech M&A Advisory practice focused on delivering technology-enabled value creation for Private Equity clients and their portfolio companies across Europe and the US. The practice supports clients across the full M&A lifecycle, positioning Alysian as a trusted partner from deal execution through post-close value realisation.
We are seeking hands-on, impact-driven individuals who will play a critical role in value creation initiatives, including IT due diligence with a value creation lens, technology strategy, carve-outs, and transformation delivery. The role requires a blend of technical expertise, commercial acumen, and strong client-facing capability. Experience in Private Equity or PE-backed environments is essential.
Key Responsibilities
Depending on experience, the role will cover at least one of the following areas:
- IT Due Diligence & Deal Advisory: Lead or support technology due diligence focused on value creation upside rather than risk alone; assess target technology environments, cybersecurity posture, and IT organisation maturity; support SPA and TSA structuring including liabilities, transitional risks, and standalone costs; translate findings into executive-ready reports, investment insights, and value creation plans.
- Carve-Out & Separation Execution: Define IT separation strategies and ensure Day 1 readiness; design and manage TSA services, governance, and exit plans; lead the IT workstream within Separation Management Offices; manage vendor transitions, SLAs, hypercare, and TSA exit to BAU.
- Transformation Assurance & Program Recovery: Shape transformation business cases and support vendor selection; design governance and PMO structures; assess or recover at-risk programs and ensure benefits realisation; oversee cutover, deployment readiness, change, and hypercare activities.
- IT Cost Optimisation & Procurement: Lead IT spend diagnostics and benchmarking; drive vendor negotiations, RFx processes, and contract optimisation; establish Vendor Management Office capabilities and procurement operating models.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with finance, legal, operations, and deal teams to align technology strategy with M&A objectives; provide clear senior-level communication to stakeholders and investors; lead complex technology programs ensuring delivery against scope, time, and budget.
