The Role
As an M&A Technology Value & Rationalisation Lead , you will play a central role in identifying, quantifying, and delivering technology-driven value in the context of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. You will bridge the gap between deal rationale and execution by translating the technology aspects of the deal thesis into measurable, trackable, and achievable outcomes.
You will lead the development of technology cost baselines, synergy hypotheses, and value creation plans , working across applications, infrastructure, data, and vendor ecosystems. Your role will be critical in ensuring that value identified during due diligence is realistic, actionable, and ultimately delivered during integration or separation.
Operating across the full deal lifecycle, you will support pre-deal technology due diligence , shape value creation and synergy cases pre-close , and drive post-close tracking and realisation of benefits . You will work closely with Finance, Integration Management Office (IMO), and functional workstreams to ensure alignment between financial targets and delivery execution.
This role requires a blend of strong analytical capability, technology understanding, and commercial acumen , as well as the ability to operate in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where timelines are fixed and expectations are high. You will be expected to challenge assumptions, bring structure to ambiguity, and ensure that technology is a core enabler of deal value.
