Help our clients make better deal decisions and turn transaction theses into measurable results

Our Swiss market-leading Deal Transformation and Post-Merger Integration team advises Swiss Corporate, private equity and mid-market clients to generate and create value across the M&A lifecycle. We help clients assess operational performance before signing, identify and quantify value creation opportunities, and manage the complexities of acquisitions, divestitures and carve-outs. At Deloitte, we work closely with our colleagues from transaction services, valuations, and corporate finance to ensure a seamless and value-driven approach to transactions.

How you will make an impact

You will work with corporate management teams, private equity investors and M&A professionals to identify and realise value from M&A transactions.

  • Help corporate and private equity clients understand the operational capabilities of potential acquisition targets and existing portfolio companies;

  • Structure and lead client interviews to identify operational complexities and value creation opportunities, often involving senior stakeholders across the organisation;
  • Rapidly synthesise qualitative and quantitative information from diverse sources into clear, evidence-based value creation hypotheses and a compelling narrative that clients can readily understand;
  • Apply a pragmatic 80/20 mindset to focus deliverables on the issues most material to the transaction and investment thesis;
  • Provide practical operational value creation advice supported by evidence from interviews, data analysis, financial baselines and external benchmarks;
  • Manage engagement scope, priorities, timelines, budgets, risks and quality, working closely with Partners, Directors and Senior Managers;
  • Build trusted-adviser relationships with corporate executives, private equity investors, M&A professionals and functional leaders;
  • Support business development through the preparation of proposals, pitches and client materials, and contribute to the development of client relationships; and
  • Identify, design and lead practice development initiatives focusing on M&A value creation and pre-deal due diligence.

What we are looking for

  • A Bachelor-s or Master-s degree in business, economics, finance, engineering or another relevant discipline;
  • At least five years of relevant professional experience in M&A, with a particular focus on commercial or operational due diligence within a Big Four accounting firm, strategy consultancy or specialised restructuring and turnaround adviser;
  • Deep experience in operational due diligence, together with experience in synergy identification, tracking and realisation; separation diagnostics and standalone costing; standalone performance diagnostics;
  • Ideally, demonstrated experience also in commercial due diligence, business planning, business-plan reviews and revenue growth;
  • Demonstrated knowledge of due diligence processes and documentation requirements within an advisory environment;
  • Experience and knowledge in one or more of the following industries: Energy, Resources & Industrials; Consumer; Life Sciences & Healthcare; or Technology, Media & Telecommunications;
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to disaggregate complex issues, identify root causes and recommend actionable solutions; and
  • Full professional proficiency in English; fluency in German, ideally including Swiss German, is highly desirable.
