The role and opportunities

The TSE team within EY-Parthenon offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to navigate the complexities of mergers and acquisitions. Our team supports clients with the development, evaluation and end-to-end execution of their transaction strategy.
What is special about working in our team is that we engage with a broad range of stakeholders from the CEO to functional leads and that our projects are very different depending on the situation. This means that you will advise clients throughout the M&A lifecycle from due diligence, negotiations, day 1 operating model and post-merger integration (PMI).
We work across the following diverse areas, with the opportunity to specialize as you progress:

Integration & Divestments
In our integrate/divestment practice areas, you'll contribute to operational aspects of M&A transactions, helping to devise strategies, pinpoint synergies, and manage integration or carve-out processes across various business functions using specialized tools.
Deal Strategy & Value Creation
Within the space of deal strategy and value creation, you can contribute to our efforts to assist clients in achieving their strategic M&A goals by identifying cost-saving and synergy opportunities and guiding the implementation of value creation initiatives.
Technology
Finally, in our technology practice in TSE, you'll provide insights on technology assessments, system integrations, and software investments. You'll support clients in navigating M&A activities, achieving synergies, and exploring emerging technologies, while offering strategic advice on software market trends, product features, and value creation opportunities.
