Description

About A&M Global Capability Center Private Limited

In 2023, A&M established a high-quality global capability center in India. The capability center has dedicated centers of expertise which work with A&M leadership across multiple business units and geographies to enable efficient service delivery to A&M clients

The GCC is designed to efficiently and innovatively scale client delivery teams to meet ongoing demands. It helps A&M&aposs global business units expand their talent pool in India, allowing them to hire specialized professionals, maintain competitive pricing, accelerate delivery speeds with a hybrid onshore-offshore team, and leverage automation with top tier digital and analytics talent. The GCC blends industry and consulting professionals across multiple domains to drive change and add value.

Unlike traditional GCC models focused on back-office support, we partner with case teams for end-to-end case delivery and thought leadership. Nearly 90% of our consultants hold advanced degrees, and our leadership team boasts over 1000 years of combined experience. We serve all major markets, including the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, and work across various industries such as Consumer & Retail, Healthcare, Software & Technology, Automotive & Industrials, Hospitality & Leisure, Energy & Natural Resources, and Financial Services.

As we embark on this unique journey, the firm is actively seeking to build a strong, capable team for the center. The GCC is growing rapidly and is already a 600+ member team.

About The Role

At Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), we are evolving how sustainability is applied in dealmaking — integrating ESG considerations directly into the commercial and financial heart of our due diligence work. Our Sustainability-Aligned Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) approach gives you the chance to work on high-impact transactions while building differentiated skills that connect traditional market and financial insights with sustainability-driven value creation.

 Review and leverage client materials such as Confidential Information Memoranda (CIM), Financial Due Diligence (FDD), Commercial Due Diligence (CDD), Operational Due Diligence (ODD), and other reports to build a robust commercial thesis.

 Develop and manage detailed information request lists, track responses, and review Virtual Data Room (VDR) materials to extract relevant insights.

 Conduct management and client interviews to gather both commercial and sustainability-relevant information.

 Integrate sustainability-linked themes into commercial assessments, identifying opportunities and risks relevant to the investment thesis.

 Work closely with managers, MDs, and clients to ensure project milestones are met with high-quality outputs.

 Prepare clear, structured deliverables — including proposals, PoVs, and client presentations — to support project outcomes and future opportunities.

 Coordinate with internal teams to meet deadlines, manage timelines, and maintain project documentation.

 Sector exposure in Industrials, Consumer Goods, and Business Services highly preferred; additional exposure to related sub-industries a plus.
