Enterprise Systems Consultant

Enterprise Systems Practitioner - EMEA

Technology is no longer just an enabler of business strategy. It is the business strategy. And with AI reshaping how companies operate, compete and grow — while rapidly accelerating the pace of change — the stakes have never been higher.

We’re focused on helping private equity investors and portfolio company leaders drive value creation through technology. In a world where investors deploy trillions annually into software and tech-enabled businesses, we're the team that makes sure the underlying technology actually delivers.

The expert judgment of our experienced practitioners is complemented by proven frameworks, tech-enabled solutions, and objective data to help organizations navigate critical technology decisions across diligence, transformation, growth, cybersecurity, AI, and operational execution.

Everything we do is grounded in five core values:
Service. Curiosity. Credibility. Commitment. Creativity.

If you're energized by solving complex technology challenges and helping others succeed in critical moments by providing insight and clarity, you'll fit right in.

We are looking for an Enterprise Systems Practitioner to lead diligence and/or value creation engagements. Diligence engagements include sell-side and buy-side across the enterprise systems, traditional and hybrid infrastructure, managed services, and critical business processes that support business operations. Most initial assignments will be transaction-focused and move at deal speed.

Value creation engagements include developing a systems roadmap, evaluating enterprise applications, leading a platform or provider selection, governing a critical programme, or serving as an interim or fractional systems leader.

In all engagements, you will assess how processes work in practice; determine whether the systems, data, controls, operating procedures, and third-party services are fit for purpose; and translate your findings into clear conclusions for investors and management teams.

• Lead sell-side technology diligence, including evidence review, management interviews, buyer-readiness assessment, remediation priorities, and support for buyer questions.
• Lead buy-side technology diligence and assess the systems estate, infrastructure, organisation, vendors, contracts, spend, scalability, resilience, and investment requirements.
• Evaluate ERP, warehouse and WMS environments and the finance, procurement, order management, inventory, fulfilment, and warehouse processes they support, including process fit, customisation, integrations, data quality, reporting, controls, manual workarounds, vendor support, licensing, lifecycle risk, and replacement or upgrade exposure.
• Evaluate front- and mid-office systems like CRM and PSA, and the lead-to-cash and project-to-cash processes they support, including opportunity management, resource planning, project delivery, time and expense, billing, project accounting, revenue recognition, customer data, adoption, controls, and reporting.
• Assess critical end-to-end business processes, including order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, record-to-report and month-end close, recruit-to-retire, and other sector-relevant processes. Use process walkthroughs, management and user interviews, system evidence, reports, and operating metrics to identify weak handoffs, control gaps, manual workarounds, data issues, key-person dependencies, and scalability constraints.
• Assess data centres, colocation, networks, identity, end-user computing, backup, disaster recovery, hybrid cloud, and the practical migration of traditional COTS systems to IaaS or limited PaaS environments.
• Assess MSP and MSSP…
