Consultant / Manager - Commercial Due Diligence & Strategy

Job Description

We are strengthening our specialist Commercial Due Diligence and Strategy team, advising private equity investors, selected corporate acquirers and portfolio company leadership teams.

Our core work is commercial due diligence, growth strategy and value creation across the investment lifecycle. For private equity clients, we support target screening, commercial due diligence, value creation planning, portfolio company strategy and exit preparation. For corporate clients, we focus on commercial due diligence and acquisition-related growth questions, working alongside Deloitte's M&A, tax, legal, technology and sector teams.

A distinctive strength is our integrated due diligence approach, combining commercial, product, technology and data perspectives to assess market attractiveness and business scalability. This is particularly relevant for technology, software, digital platforms, data-rich businesses, IT services and tech-enabled services.

• Support across the investment lifecycle: target screening, value creation planning, portfolio company growth strategy and exit preparation
• Integrated due diligence combining commercial and technology perspectives
• Assessments on how commercial performance links to product, technology and operating model factors, such as product scalability, technology-enabled differentiation, data assets, customer stickiness, delivery model and platform readiness
• Fact-based analysis through market sizing, customer and expert interviews, survey analysis, competitor benchmarking, financial analysis, product and business model assessment and secondary research
• Clear translation of findings into investment and board-level implications, including market potential, growth levers, downside risks and value creation priorities
• Senior client-ready materials: investment committee papers, board materials, executive presentations and management workshops

For a Consultant / Senior Consultant, the role will focus on owning workstreams, driving analysis, producing client-ready output and developing strong commercial and investor judgement.

For a Project Lead / Manager, the role will also include leading day-to-day delivery, structuring the workplans, story lining, managing client and partner interactions, guiding teams, ensuring quality and developing the next generation of consultants.
