  • Assist clients with synergy or cost savings tracking, planning, and initial implementation.
  • Actively participate in negotiating key transaction commercial terms.
  • Support our clients in delivering value from their transactions by working on engagement teams.
  • Provide pre-Day-1 planning and execution support.
  • Develop a target operating model to outline how the separated/merged company will operate post-transaction.
  • Help set up and manage a Separation or Integration Management Office (SMO/IMO).
  • Assist the client to develop detailed separation/integration plans and provide input on legal documents and client plans.
  • Offer function-specific advice on key separation and integration challenges.
  • Offer change management support and advice.
  • Interact and communicate effectively with senior client executives, including Chief Financial Officers and Chief Operating Officers, and work closely with senior client teams.
  • Take responsibility for the timely completion of well-structured, fact-based, and data-driven client deliverables that exceed client expectations.
  • Communicate effectively and skillfully with the engagement leader and senior client management to discuss insights of the analysis.
Requirements
  • Exposure to mergers and acquisition (5+ years) in a consulting, corporate, or private equity environment is highly preferred.
  • An inquisitive, investigative, and digital mindset to test our clients' thinking on their biggest challenges.
  • MBA, CPA, CFA, or equivalent complete qualification strongly preferred.
  • Financial and operational awareness with exceptional critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communications skills in French - thorough business acumen, including financial literacy.
  • Ability to collaborate and quickly develop effective working relationships.
  • Understanding of program or project management (no formal project certification is required, although PMP or other certification is considered an asset).
  • Experience working with senior management and/or managing multiple stakeholders.
  • Previous experience in a deal setting, cost optimization, operational restructuring, turnarounds, or operational improvement initiatives is considered an asset.
What We Offer
  • You are Hungry-Humble-Smart. Cultural fit is of utmost importance - we like working with people who work hard and have a lifelong love of learning and development.
  • Outstanding communication skills (oral & written), with the ability to interact confidently with all levels of management.
  • Ability to develop and present new ideas and conceptualize new approaches and solutions.
  • Proven track record with the types of business development activities and an established network of relevant contacts.
  • A self-starter who thrives working in an adaptable, rapidly evolving transaction environment that requires an excellent work ethic and teamwork.
  • Creative problem-solver with the ability to challenge current thinking through extensive data.
  • Comfortable working with incomplete information and ability to make intelligent, fact-based assumptions where necessary.
  • Comfortable working autonomously with minimal supervision and in collaboration as part of a team.
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills.
  • Good attention to detail with effective organizational skills.
  • High degree of personal and professional integrity.
  • Willingness and ability to travel nationally/internationally as required.
