About the teamDelivering 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 roleDDV focuses on providing support for potential/actual transactions and assists clients in all operational aspects of the transaction, pre and post completion, 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?
