About the team Delivering Deal Value (DDV) is a market leading team sitting within PwC's Consulting business, assisting both Corporate and Private Equity (PE) clients in a wide range of high impact business situations. Most of our work is in the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) space, both pre and post deal,and we regularly go to market with our colleagues in Transaction Services, however we can also deliver non-deal transformation projects. The M&A Deals we work on range in size from £50m to over £5bn and our clients include several of the most well-known brands and businesses in the world. Our team contains approximately 150 dynamic and friendly people from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines. We recruit proactively from industry, consulting, private equity and audit to create a great blend of experience on each project. 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. About the role: We currently have a vacancy for a Manager in the TMT team, with a background in Media businesses e.g. B2B Data, Events, Broadcasting, Advertising or Publishing. If you join us with prior experience in operational transaction services, you may have a preference for the type of project or business development work you take on. If not, then you are likely to start out working on a range of the different products we offer as a team, including; Pre-deal value creation advisory - i.e. where can we see value for our client in this deal? Buy and sell side operational due diligence - i.e. has the business been performing well? What could be improved to unlock further value for our client? Synergy development and review - i.e. where are the synergies between two businesses and how well has the plan for capturing these synergies been compiled?

Post-acquisition performance improvement using our Rapid Value Creation methodology -i.e. where might value lie in the business and how can we generate sustainable cost savings? A career in the DDV team is a unique and rewarding challenge. The work is difficult, often quite complex and done under tight deadlines. As a result, the opportunity for personal and career development is extraordinary with great opportunities for progression, however this career path can be challenging at times.

The team is structured by sector, with specialist cross-sector teams in Finance, Technology and Integration; we also work closely with our colleagues in 'People in Deals' who focus on the HR aspects of a deal.

The Manager role is a leadership role at project level. As such, you will be expected to take on a leading role on engagements and management of project team members within 6-12 months and contribute to business development efforts where possible alongside your project responsibilities.
