About the role

FTI Consulting's EMEA Private Equity team is growing and is looking for Senior Consultants who sit at the intersection of operations, technology and value creation. You will work directly with leading Private Equity funds and portfolio company leadership to assess performance, identify upside and deliver change at pace. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role in fast-moving deal environments.

Key responsibilities

• Value creation and modernisation: develop investor-ready plans covering pricing, procurement, automation, cloud migration, platform consolidation, productivity and SG&A optimisation.
• Sign-to-close execution: shape TSAs, Day 1 readiness plans and continuity strategies across operations, IT, data, access and security, and flag critical path items.
• Post-deal integration and separation: lead workstreams on synergy capture, cost takeout, footprint consolidation, IT carve-outs, system migrations and platform integrations, working with operators, CTOs, CIOs and engineering leads.

Required profile

• Experience in operational consulting, technology consulting, transaction advisory, performance improvement, software/IT transformation or a PE-backed environment.
• Experience on buy-side or sell-side transactions across operational or technology workstreams, or equivalent.
• Comfortable working with limited data, tight timelines and ambiguous situations.
• Ability to turn technical and operational issues into clear commercial insights, with strong stakeholder management across technical and non-technical audiences.

What we offer

• Professional development programmes covering leadership, growth and certification, including on-the-job learning and self-guided courses.
• A dedicated coach for mentoring and advocacy.
