We also provide advice to regulatory authorities in similar matters.

You'll be joining the successful M&A team here at IDEX Consulting, in a newly created role to help develop our offering across the global insurance broking market. More about the team The last five years in insurance broking has seen a huge amount of M&A activity which has completely shifted the landscape of broking. And there is no sign of that slowing down. An ageing demographic of brokerage owner, combined with huge interest from global investment houses to develop operations in broking, has resulted in a hotbed of opportunity and activity. IDEX's M&A team, established in 2020 have already influenced much of this transformational change in broking. We are uniquely placed given our strategic partnerships with large broking houses, combined with our in-depth regional connection to the UK and global broking scene. We essentially influence and drive deals. We're an exciting team to be a part of. As leaders in this field, we support broking owners through their business journey, understanding their DNA, diving deep into their business and supporting them through the delicate process of broker acquisition. It's a huge step for many broking owners to consider their exit or sale strategy however IDEX have cultivated a slick, professional service which allows us to consult wisely on options, time-frames and financial/legal support. Our team is headed up by our Client Solutions Director, who is recognised throughout the UK as a major thought leader in the broking space. Roles and Responsibilities: Generating, cultivating and nurturing new broker leads Liaising with "buyers" and "sellers" Pipeline Management Advising brokers on growth Deal negotiation Client management Working closely with our UK consultants to develop new opportunities More about IDEX We are an established Talent Management & Business Growth Consultancy with a unique proposition in the market.

We have also evolved our client proposition, cementing ourselves as a leading Business Growth Consultancy within our core areas, General Insurance, Financial Services & Legal. As a cutting-edge business, we help engineer growth for our clients whether that's in strategic talent acquisition, mergers & acquisitions, management consultancy or helping define structural improvements.

We encourage our clients to think more broadly - connecting their actions today with their successes tomorrow. We help our clients throughout the Deals lifecycle to create lasting value for their businesses. Each of our key areas within Deals, delivers services to the market individually or together by combining our specialists to provide comprehensive client solutions. About the team Delivering Deal Value (DDV) is a market leading team sitting within PwC's Consulting business, assisting both Corporate and Private Equity (PE) clients in a wide range of high impact business situations. Most of our work is in the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) space, both pre and post deal, and we regularly go to market with our colleagues in Transaction Services, however we can also deliver non-deal transformation projects. The M&A Deals we work on range in size from £50m to over £5bn and our clients include several of the most well-known brands and businesses in the world. The team is one of the most profitable, highly utilised and high growth business units in Consulting, exceeding challenging budgets for a number of years. The team has seen double digit growth, year on year and are market leaders in a number of high growth areas. Whilst the team is London based, deal activity is global, therefore projects can involve travel which can be at short notice. Occasionally projects may also involve being based overseas for multiple weeks with trips home weekly or bi weekly and candidates should be prepared for this. The team is structured by sector, with specialist cross-sector teams in Finance, Technology and Integration; we also work closely with our colleagues in 'People in Deals' who focus on the HR aspects of a deal. Although you will be aligned to a sector or specialist team, the type of client projects you work on will vary based on the demand and the current deal market, therefore a degree of flexibility is expected. There are plenty of opportunities to get to know your new colleagues. Consulting is a relationship industry after all. We have weekly team newsletters, monthly team meetings and monthly socials, together with an annual away day. The team is a collaborative and supportive environment with lots of chances to socialise across our team and the wider business. About the role A career in the DDV team is a unique and rewarding opportunity. The work is challenging, often quite complex and fast paced. As a result, the chance for personal and career development is extraordinary with great opportunities for progression, however this career path can be challenging at times. As part of the team, you will help to deliver: Pre-deal value creation advisory - i.e. where can we see value for our client in this deal? Buy and sell side operational due diligence - i.e. has the business been performing well? What could be improved to unlock further value for our client? Synergy development and review - i.e. where are the synergies between two businesses and how well has the plan for capturing these synergies been compiled? Carve out and divestment support - i.e. what does the business look like standalone, what support and transition services will it need to function? How can we help our clients execute the separation and ensure a smooth Day 1? Taking control and 100 day planning - i.e. how can our clients safely take control of the business and manage risk whilst delivering quick wins through the first 100 days? Mergers & Acquisitions Integration - i.e. how can our clients protect and grow value in an acquisition, what is the right level of integration to achieve this and what does an effectively run integration programme look like? Post-acquisition performance improvement using our Rapid Value Creation methodology - i.e. where might value lie in the business and how can we generate sustainable cost savings? As a Senior Manager, you'll work as part of a team of problem solvers with extensive consulting and industry experience, helping our clients solve their complex business issues from strategy to execution. Specific responsibilities include but are not limited to: Proactively assist in the management of a portfolio of clients, while reporting to Directors and above Be involved in the financial management of clients Be actively involved in business development activities to help identify and research opportunities on new/existing clients Develop project strategies to solve complex technical challenges for our clients Manage and deliver large projects by developing the project team, assessing engagement risks throughout, driving conclusions, and reviewing / challenging the output produced by the team Shape and deliver projects to meet and exceed the expectations of our clients and our own quality criteria Train, coach, and supervise team members Continue to develop internal relationships and developing your PwC brand The EUMI team sits alongside our wider Industrial Products and Services team, covering a broad range of industries, as such our team is made up of professionals from a variety of industries and backgrounds, including Power and Gas, Chemicals, Utilities and Mining. Due to continued success and increased demand for our services, DDV is seeking to enhance this team via select, high calibre appointments. Professional experience From an operational line management role or a transformational role in a multinational corporate, have been involved in the operational side of private equity or worked in operational transaction services in the past Experience of working in, or an understanding of, Energy, Utilities, Mining and Infrastructure industries globally Experienced in one or more of the following: Energy, Power and Gas generation, manufacturing best-practice, operational restructuring and cost reduction Have the ability to quickly assess the operational performance of a business and outline improvement opportunities based upon limited information and/ or interactions with Management Have experience in M&A (not essential), change projects, restructuring or business improvement Some professional services experience, either as a consultant/ advisor or as an internal consultant/ advisor within a corporate would be beneficial, but not a prerequisite Have 10+ years of industry or professional services experience Personality characteristics We work hard together, so we hire people who treat their colleagues well, who aren't hierarchical and enjoy creating a happy culture even when under pressure Extremely comfortable around C suite or senior stakeholders, as most of our work is done at this level; you don't need to be an extrovert, but confidence definitely helps Comfortable with uncertainty and excited by the idea that you may not know what country you'll be in next week Naturally curious; we love people who can apply logic and problem solving to difficult business problems Deals Our Deals business is an exciting, fast-paced and an ever-growing business that focuses on deals and crisis situations for our clients.

The insight we create, coupled with the innovative tools and methodologies we use to access and evaluate the data that matters, contributes to the success of our clients in all Deals situations. We encourage our clients to think more broadly - connecting their actions today with their successes tomorrow. We help our clients throughout the Deals lifecycle to create lasting value for their businesses. Each of our key areas within Deals, delivers services to the market individually or together by combining our specialists to provide comprehensive client solutions. About the team Delivering Deal Value (DDV) is a market leading team sitting within PwC's Consulting business, assisting both Corporate and Private Equity (PE) clients in a wide range of high impact business situations. Most of our work is in the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) space, both pre and post deal, and we regularly go to market with our colleagues in Transaction Services, however we can also deliver non-deal transformation projects. The M&A Deals we work on range in size from £50m to over £5bn and our clients include several of the most well-known brands and businesses in the world. The team is one of the most profitable, highly utilised and high growth business units in Consulting, exceeding challenging budgets for a number of years. The team has seen double digit growth, year on year and are market leaders in a number of high growth areas. Whilst the team is London based, deal activity is global, therefore projects can involve travel which can be at short notice. Occasionally projects may also involve being based overseas for multiple weeks with trips home weekly or bi weekly and candidates should be prepared for this. The team is structured by sector, with specialist cross-sector teams in Finance, Technology and Integration; we also work closely with our colleagues in 'People in Deals' who focus on the HR aspects of a deal. Although you will be aligned to a sector or specialist team, the type of client projects you work on will vary based on the demand and the current deal market, therefore a degree of flexibility is expected. There are plenty of opportunities to get to know your new colleagues. Consulting is a relationship industry after all. We have weekly team newsletters, monthly team meetings and monthly socials, together with an annual away day. The team is a collaborative and supportive environment with lots of chances to socialise across our team and the wider business. About the role A career in the DDV team is a unique and rewarding opportunity. The work is challenging, often quite complex and fast paced. As a result, the chance for personal and career development is extraordinary with great opportunities for progression, however this career path can be challenging at times. As part of the team, you will help to deliver: Pre-deal value creation advisory - i.e. where can we see value for our client in this deal? Buy and sell side operational due diligence - i.e. has the business been performing well? What could be improved to unlock further value for our client? Synergy development and review - i.e. where are the synergies between two businesses and how well has the plan for capturing these synergies been compiled? Carve out and divestment support - i.e. what does the business look like standalone, what support and transition services will it need to function? How can we help our clients execute the separation and ensure a smooth Day 1? Taking control and 100 day planning - i.e. how can our clients safely take control of the business and manage risk whilst delivering quick wins through the first 100 days? Mergers & Acquisitions Integration - i.e. how can our clients protect and grow value in an acquisition, what is the right level of integration to achieve this and what does an effectively run integration programme look like? Post-acquisition performance improvement using our Rapid Value Creation methodology - i.e. where might value lie in the business and how can we generate sustainable cost savings?
