A career within Technology in Deals will provide you with the opportunity to help clients achieve maximum value on their transactions by addressing complex technology challenges across the deal lifecycle. We focus on all technology-related aspects of a transaction — pre- and post-close — including Technology Due Diligence (Product Technology, IT & Cyber), IT Integrations, IT Carve-outs/Separations, and Technology/Digital Value Creation. Our work spans a wide range of industries and deal types, serving Corporate, Private Equity and Pension Fund clients alike.

• Technology/Digital Value Creation: Identification, planning and execution of technology- and digital-enabled value creation opportunities across the portfolio or enterprise.

As a Technology in Deals Senior Manager, you will join a dynamic team of technology and deal professionals dedicated to helping clients navigate complex technology challenges — from strategy through execution.

Your responsibilities as a Senior Manager will include, but are not limited to the below areas:

• Manage multiple technology-focused deal engagements across various technology value creation mandates and lead teams to successful execution.

• Provide hands-on support to delivery teams in technology due diligence analysis (Product Technology, IT & Cyber), IT integration and IT carve-out mandates, technology operating model design, and digital/technology-enabled operational improvements.
• Proactively manage scope of work efforts and project risks, and act as quality control for quantitative and qualitative technology analysis and overall deliverables.
• Manage delivery team utilization, project-specific budgets and support administrators in timely and efficient client billing.
• Support business development and pursuit activities to drive sales and revenue in the Technology in Deals practice.
• Support Technology in Deals and broader DDV leadership with firm-building activities, including talent development and performance management.
