ABOUT US

We are a fast-growing boutique advisor dedicated to technology and digital enabled value creation for large-cap Private Equity firms and their global portfolio companies.

Our team consists of top consulting, industry and technology experts with deep expertise in Private Equity. We work as an extension of Operating Partner teams, playing a pivotal advisory role across the entire technology value creation chain - from value identification to value creation planning and value realization. We are expertise-led, impact and data driven, entrepreneurial and trusted advisors who are relentless in their commitment to our clients and the pursuit of value.

We have an ambitious growth agenda and are rapidly growing our team across UK, Europe, US and APAC. We are seeking talented and highly skilled Director-level consultants to join our team and support us to expand our impact in the Private Equity (PE) sector. You will be working closely with Alysian leaders, PE Operating Partners, and the CIOs / IT Leadership teams at portfolio companies to execute transformative IT-enabled value creation strategies.

CONTEXT ON ROLE

We are seeking a hands-on Applications Architect to lead application transformation initiatives across the M&A lifecycle for our global Private Equity clients. This role focuses on enterprise applications strategy, CRM / ERP architecture, integration design, and application modernization to enable rapid value creation.
