About A&M Companies, investors and government entities around the world turn to Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) for leadership, action and results. Privately held since its founding in 1983, A&M is a leading global professional services firm that provides advisory, business performance improvement and turnaround management services. When conventional approaches are not enough to create transformation and drive change, clients seek our deep expertise and ability to deliver practical solutions to their unique problems.
Corporate Transactions Group (CTG) CTG, a subsidiary of A&M, brings a structured and disciplined approach to create and capture value throughout the M&A deal cycle. We provide corporate clients with deep leadership and expertise to bring an end‑to‑end solution for corporate clients as they enter into potential buys‑side acquisitions, sell‑side divestitures and carve‑outs, and strategic partnerships.
Our professionals help businesses develop and execute their strategies to create value for the organization and its shareholders leveraging A&M’s functional expertise and industry experience. We provide a range of services to our clients, including commercial due diligence, market entry assessment, financial and operational due diligence, tax diligence and structuring assistance, business modeling and synergy assessment, integration & separation planning, and support executing the plan and delivering enterprise value for our client’s shareholders.
Our CTG practice is growing rapidly which means there is a unique opportunity to be creative and entrepreneurial to help shape the foundation of our future. We are currently seeking dynamic and experienced professionals to join our team, focusing on the operational and execution aspects of the M&A life cycle (from early‑stage diligence through to post‑close implementation). In this ever‑changing market environment, our professionals must be adaptable and thrive in a collaborative, team‑driven culture. The position offers significant opportunities for career development and advancement in a fast‑growing practice that is helping lead many market‑shaping deals.
What Will You Be Doing?
Serve as a workstream or small project client lead for enterprise‑wide M&A projects; oversee the design and delivery of high‑quality client analysis and work products for the team working within our project structure.
Deliver operational diligence and/or functional analysis as part of the pre‑signing / pre‑closing activities to help our clients determine value, assess risk, identify opportunities and prepare for a future transaction.
Help our clients understand operational overlaps / entanglements, develop and execute the integration / separation work plans and critical planning documents (e.g., entanglement logs, TSAs, cost models, synergy plans, etc.), identify improvement areas, and resolve integration or separation issues on A&M’s most challenging projects.
Proactively identify business issues and opportunities for clients and recommend activities to mitigate risks while optimizing upside opportunities; become a trusted advisor to senior client executives.
Act as A&M’s representative to various levels of client executives and C‑level leadership; help identify future opportunities to improve clients’ business and expand A&M’s impact.
Lead the professional development and career path of team members and lead key people initiatives such as recruiting, training, and other career development programs for our expanded team.
Qualifications
Minimum of 5+ years of relevant professional consulting and/or operational experience, with a focus in corporate M&A, diligence, and integration/separation implementation; Big 4 or top‑tier strategy consulting firm preferred; additional leadership experience in corporate strategy or corporate development a plus.
Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university/college preferably in business, engineering or a related field; MBA preferred.
Strong business acumen with proven analytical and problem‑solving skills and experience to understand how strategic business model decisions impact the broader organization across customers, operations, technology, risk, and people; CFA or CPA preferred.
Multi‑year experience working on complex M&A execution projects (integrations and separations) and M&A transactional deal work; understanding of the change management function and its importance in the M&A life cycle, including communications and organization design; additional industry experience with operational exposure and P&L responsibility across one or more functions a plus.
Experience leading small working teams in a fast‑paced environment with the ability to operate successfully under ambiguity.
Expertise within one or more industry segments preferred (e.g., consumer products, industrials, automotive, healthcare, life sciences, financial services, energy, technology, media, etc.).
Proven ability to build trusting business and market relationships that will enable future business development opportunities and increased branding and market presence for the practice.
Ability to communicate confidently in a clear, concise, and articulate manner—verbally and in written form to senior business leaders.
Travel may be up to 75%.

Who Will You Be Working With? CTG is a team of problem solvers with extensive consulting and industry experience who embody the A&M core values—integrity, quality, objectivity, fun, personal reward, and inclusive diversity—while delivering a tailored and scalable approach to working with our corporate clients.
Our team is hands‑on, entrepreneurial, open‑minded, high‑achieving, and collaborative. We take the extra mile and deliver gold‑standard work for our teammates and clients. We are leaders amongst our peers with the confidence to approach internal and external problems head‑on and the grit to execute highly complex, value‑add initiatives in intense situations.
