M&A Operations - Finance in Deals - Senior Manager

Join to apply for the M&A Operations - Finance in Deals - Senior Manager role at PwC UK

We are seeking to recruit a Senior Manager to join our Finance in Deals (FiD) team, which advises on the Finance function implications arising from M&A, especially when integrating or divesting businesses. The team works with a mix of Corporate and Private Equity clients both pre‑ and post‑deal.

The FiD team sits within Strategy&’s M&A Operations practice, a dedicated team of industry and functional experts that support businesses to maximise value from M&A.

The M&A Operations team consists of approximately 250 people who advise clients on the operational and strategic aspects of merger and acquisition (M&A) projects, acting as a strategic and trusted advisor to both Corporate and Private Equity clients on transactions ranging from £50 million to over £5 billion. M&A Operations is a market‑leading team that sits within PwC’s Strategy& Business Unit and provides a highly complex, fast‑paced, challenging yet rewarding environment for those who aspire to grow and develop in their careers.

M&A Operations utilises its deep experience to assist our clients across industry sectors as they navigate potential/actual M&A transactions and drive activities across all operational aspects of the transaction, pre‑ and post‑completion. We are able to quickly assimilate the key operational issues, synergies, risks and upsides around a transaction, to deliver results. You are likely to work on a range of the different types of projects we support our clients with, which includes but is not limited to:

• Buy and sell‑side operational due diligence
• Value creation strategy and planning
• Carve‑out and divestiture support
• Integration support
• Taking control and 100‑day planning
• Post‑deal performance improvement

Our FiD team has grown rapidly over the last five years and comprises over 25 dedicated Finance specialists. The team works closely with CFOs and their Finance Functions, to ensure business continuity is delivered throughout the transaction and value and finance effectiveness is maximised post‑deal.

Our team has a wide mix of prior experience, ranging from individuals who have previously worked in industry or private equity running and driving change in Finance Functions, to prior roles in finance consulting, audit, and M&A advisory practices.

Due to continued success and increased demand for our services, we are seeking to enhance our collaborative team via select, high‑calibre appointments.

We are looking to recruit a team member who can draw upon their previous consulting or in‑house experience to bring high quality advice and support for our clients. Ideally you will have experience of M&A and/or finance transformational projects, and an understanding of how deals can impact a Finance Function.

You will work on a range of projects across different business sectors, whilst also focusing on the full breadth of Finance Function responsibilities including finance processes, operations, and reporting. You will draw on your previous client experience and knowledge of deals to advise CFOs and their Finance Functions on key decision making and mitigation of risks throughout the deal.

The work involved can be complex and part of a fast‑paced environment, therefore the role will require the ability to quickly understand, analyse and provide trusted opinions on the key issues and opportunities facing the Finance Function.

As a Senior Manager, you’ll lead teams and work as a trusted advisor to the most senior members of Finance, to help anticipate and solve the CFO’s complex business issues from strategy to execution.

Beyond project work, the role also involves driving business development and internal initiatives, to grow and develop the ways we can enhance our team and our routes to market. You will utilise your experiences to take ownership of developing new ways to support our clients in the deal environment, as well as developing your networks both within wider PwC and with our external client base.
