Manager Technical ESG Deals

Job Description & Summary

At Deals (M&A) we work on transactions that you regularly hear about in the news. We provide support, insight and analysis for the management, shareholders and investors of the business community. You will have the opportunity to gain experience in the financial, commercial and operational aspects of mergers, acquisitions and (re-)financing processes. Sustainability (or 'ESG') plays an increasingly important role in this respect. How do investors integrate ESG in their investment decisions, what impact does sustainability have on the value of companies and does this contribute to building future-proof businesses?

What will you be doing?

Within the Deals ESG team, you help clients who wish to buy or sell a business to identify opportunities and risks regarding sustainability. Our ESG team advises both small and larger companies, and both Private Equity firms and Corporates through the entire Deal cycle (pre-, during- and post-deal). We take sustainability analyses to the next level, away from compliance. Identifying value creation opportunities and quantifying sustainability factors into financial impact are key to our work.

As a manager in ESG Deals you will:

• Lead projects from start to end and manage the team working on it
• Thoroughly assess and quantify the ESG aspects of a potential transaction
• Consider value creation opportunities and identify possible risks surrounding ESG aspects
• Work from our leading national and international Deals practice where innovation and AI tooling is important
• Actively work together with sustainability experts across the global PwC network to develop insights
• Be involved in building up and positioning the ESG team, both internally within Deals and PwC and when shaping our rapidly evolving proposition to clients

Requirements

• University master's degree or equivalent (preferably in a technical area like engineering, environmental science, chemistry)
• Minimum of 5 years relevant work experience, such as M&A, Private Equity, (sustainability) consultancy
• Passion for sustainability (prior knowledge through education and/or work experience is a plus)
• Affinity to analyze large amounts of data
