About The Role

Delivering Deal Value (DDV) is a market leading team focussed on identifying and executing value creation opportunities in relation to mergers, acquisitions and divestments. We work with the world’s best known Private Equity Houses, Pharma & Life Sciences Corporates and Private Healthcare Providers on deals typically ranging in value from £50m to £5bn+.

Our team includes people with a range of backgrounds including people with prior roles in industry, investors, career consultants and accountants. This blend of backgrounds helps us learn from each other

and stay at the top of the market delivering fantastic results for our clients on landmark Deals.

The Health and Pharma team has grown significantly and with the deal market on the rise there is significant opportunity to join the team at a senior level and progress.

We are recruiting at the Senior Manager and Director level, at either of these levels you will have full end to end ownership for delivering client engagements and business development activities. Both roles have a high degree of autonomy, with Directors leading delivery of more complex engagements and spending a greater proportion of time building client relationships and securing new engagements.

A career in the DDV team is a unique and rewarding challenge. Our work is high profile, often quite complex and delivered under tight deadlines. The opportunity for personal and career development is extraordinary, engaging with senior client teams on their biggest priorities. The role offers fantastic opportunities for progression, especially for people who are self starters, able to build relationships, be intellectually curious and have high attention to detail

Whilst the team is London based, deal activity is global, therefore projects can involve travel which can be at short notice. Occasionally projects may also involve being based overseas for multiple weeks and candidates should be prepared for this.

The role is within our Health and Pharma sector and you will lead projects, bringing in functionals and subject matter specialists based on project demand. While we anticipate you will spend the majority of your time within the sector there is flexibility to work with our wider sector teams based on your experience and market demand.
