Deal Transformation & Post Merger Integration Graduate 2027 - Mergers & Acquisitions

What does this team do?

The Deal Transformation and Post Merger Integrations team supports businesses as they go through mergers, separations or business performance improvement programmes. We help companies navigate through these periods of transition to make sure every transaction or performance programme runs seamlessly. We provide end-to-end advice, whether this be advising on the financials, technology or considering the impacts on their people and talent.

It's our job to help each company do well and come out stronger. We work innovatively and collaboratively to analyse how our clients work, so that we can deliver the best possible outcomes.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

• You’ll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum 2:1 in any degree discipline and have graduated by September 2027 for the Autumn 2027 intake.
• We have identified 10 core skills that are essential to all our roles in Early Careers. To learn more about these skills and their detailed descriptions, please visit the 'Discover What We Look For' section in our Candidate Zone.

What kind of work will I do?

• Your role will allow you to work across a range of sectors, with professionals from across the M&A business, as well as the rest of Deloitte.
• You’ll gain experience across our multiple teams, allowing you to develop in-depth insights into the whole deal life cycle, covering all sorts of different aspects from pre- to post-deal.

Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our work spaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our parent and carer policies here.
