Enterprise Systems Consultant

This is a senior technology advisory role focused on helping investors and business leaders make high-impact decisions about enterprise systems and technology operations.
You will lead technology diligence and value-creation engagements, often in fast-moving transaction environments where clear judgment and practical expertise are essential.
Your work will span enterprise applications, business processes, infrastructure, managed services, data, controls, and operating models.
You will assess complex technology environments, identify the issues that materially affect transactions or transformation plans, and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
You will work directly with investors, boards, executives, and management teams, communicating technical conclusions in clear business terms.
Beyond diligence, you may develop post-close technology roadmaps, support vendor selections, govern transformation programs, or step into interim leadership assignments.
The role offers significant autonomy and variety, with opportunities to collaborate with specialists across cybersecurity, data and AI, software, integration, and carve-out services.
