Managers & Senior Managers – Transaction Services
In the United Kingdom- London
Simon-Kucher is a global consultancy with more than 2,000 employees in 30 countries. Our sole focus is on unlocking better growth that drives measurable revenue and profit for our clients. We achieve this by optimizing every lever of their commercial strategy – product, price, innovation, marketing, and sales – based on deep insights into what customers want and value. With 37 years of experience in monetization topics of all kinds, we are regarded as the world’s leading pricing and growth specialist.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our rapidly growing commercial due diligence team at Simon Kucher in the UK.
Simon Kucher is one of the fastest growing strategy consultancies in the world, helping clients address key strategic issues such as revenue growth and pricing. We recently expanded our focus to also address the commercial due diligence requirements of our private equity and corporate clients, helping them invest in the right businesses, where they can create value for all stakeholders.
Since launching our TSPE team three years ago the practice has grown rapidly, recording substantial double-digit growth each year. We have ambitious plans to continue this growth in the coming years and are looking to hire experienced CDD Managers and Senior Managers to help drive this.
This is a chance to be in a very fast-growth business – to help shape the business, grow the team and work for leading private equity clients, addressing their most important questions. At the same time, you will have the benefit of being part of wider Simon Kucher, a globally recognised brand with more than 1,700 employees in 27 countries worldwide. Our core values include integrity, respect, team spirit, and entrepreneurship.
While commercial due diligence is the key focus of the team, we work collaboratively with other parts of Simon Kucher, and therefore you will have the opportunity to also work on non-deal engagements related to areas such as M&A strategy, market reviews, revenue growth, pricing, marketing efficiency and digital strategy.
We are now looking for Managers & Senior Managers to join our London office.
