Consultant - Post Merger Integration Lead in London

As part of the Transform Together Consulting team you will lead complex post-merger integration engagements for PE backed businesses, taking accountability for the full lifecycle from pre-signing due diligence coordination through to full operating model adoption. You will work across organisational levels, from operational teams to C‑Suite and PE sponsors, providing the structure, pace, and commercial discipline needed to turn integration plans into measurable outcomes. This involves translating due diligence outputs into executable workstreams, driving synergy capture, and ensuring newly acquired businesses move quickly to a single, consistent operating standard.

You will get real responsibility and accountability from the outset - you tell us how far you want to go, it’s our job to get you there!
