We are expanding our Technology Due Diligence offering within the Strategy & Deals team and are seeking experienced professionals to lead high-profile buy-side and sell-side engagements. Our engagements deliver targeted assessments of technology risk, value creation potential, and operational resilience — enabling investors and corporate clients to make well-informed transaction decisions.

We are open at both the Associate and Senior Associate level, depending on candidate experience:

• Associate (A): 1.5+ years of relevant experience.
• Senior Associate (SA): 3+ years of relevant experience.

The responsibilities below apply across both levels; Senior Associates are expected to take greater ownership of client engagement delivery.

• Evaluate how AI, data platforms, and emerging technologies support the commercial strategy, product roadmap, and growth ambitions.
• Translate technical findings into commercial, financial, and investment insights that directly inform client decision-making.
• For fintech and software platform targets, evaluate the product architecture, data assets, and platform scalability alongside the commercial value of the product in the market.
• Where the engagement involves an integration, assess IT synergy opportunities and identify key IT integration considerations.
• Where the engagement involves a carve-out, assess the standalone operating model impacts on IT and evaluate related standalone cost adjustments for IT expenditure

• Support client account development through excellence in delivery.
• Take lead on client communications such as engagement updates and responding to requests.
• Structure and present conclusions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Mentor and develop team members, ensuring high-quality deliverables and knowledge sharing across the team.
• Support business development efforts, including proposals, client pitches, and thought leadership.

• 1.5+ to 3+ years of relevant experience (see Level Guidance above).
• Strong track record of delivering technology-focused due diligence within financial services.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to distil complex findings into actionable insights.
• Proven experience on technology due diligence engagements.
• Demonstrable depth in emerging technology (e.g., AI, GenAI, data platforms), combined with the ability to connect technical findings to commercial strategy, product competitiveness, and investment outcomes.
• Familiarity with adjacent workstreams — such as operational due diligence or integration planning — is advantageous.
