Join to apply for the Director (m/f/d) – Business Technology role at Alvarez & Marsal

Companies, investors and government entities around the world turn to Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) for leadership, action and results. Privately held since its founding in 1983, A&M is a leading global professional services firm that provides advisory, business performance improvement and turnaround management services. When conventional approaches are not enough to create transformation and drive change, clients seek our deep expertise and ability to deliver practical solutions to their unique problems.

With over 10,000 people providing services across six continents, we deliver tangible results for corporates, boards, private equity firms, law firms and government agencies facing complex challenges. Our senior leaders, and their teams, leverage A&M’s restructuring heritage to help companies act decisively, catapult growth and accelerate results. We are experienced operators, world-class consultants, former regulators and industry authorities with a shared commitment to telling clients what is really needed for turning change into a strategic business asset, managing risk and unlocking value at every stage of growth.

This role sits within the EMEA Digital & Technology Services (DTS) practice, which focuses on six core areas of expertise: Digital Strategy, Digital Customer Experience, Data & Intelligence, Cyber Security, Smart Products & Assets, and Business Technology (BT).

We take a holistic approach to digital services, encompassing Strategy, Customer Experience, Technology, and Data. Our positioning is at the intersection of strategy and execution (not slides and then gone, nor fingers on keyboards coding & testing or detailed customer journey designing), architecting the destination, orchestrating the delivery and navigating the change & transformation journey.

Our Business Technology team works with Private Equity funds, Corporates and Financial Services clients across EMEA to:

• Realign the performance of the technology / IT function through operational restructuring to directly improve the earnings and cashflow within the business;
• Carry out effective technology and product due diligence pre-deal and provide necessary post deal services (Post Merger Integration, Separation, Carve-Out, 100-day planning);
• Shape and deliver enterprise-wide systems and online programs to deliver performance improvement via business transformation and/or cost reduction outcomes;
• Manage and develop technology (ERP, CRM, Business Intelligence assets and systems) to meet strategic and operational business requirements. This would include development of KPI’s and dashboards to provide better visibility to the underlying business;
• Take interim management positions for example (and depending on experience) CIO, CTO, IT Director, Program Manager etc.

Purpose of this role:

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to join a ‘hands on’ EMEA Business Technology team at Director level. As a Director , you will be working closely with world class colleagues in a flat team structure. You will be positioned and enabled to lead work streams, with constant exposure to CTO’s/CIO’s and -1/-2 reports, while leveraging the full breadth of senior experts across industry and functional domains across A&M. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to participate in a range of practice development efforts.

Requirements:

We welcome candidates with the following qualifications:

• Solid Consulting expertise – ability to frame business issues, analyze internal and external data, build financial models in Excel, and create clear presentations and reports
• Strategic problem-solving – experience working with international teams to review client’s immediate and future issues and market position and develop actionable solutions, including Target Operating Model Design, IT Transformation, Enterprise Architecture, and Cost Reduction
• Project Leadership & Execution – A track record of successfully leading pre- and post-deal Tech Due Diligence, IT Carve-Outs, Strategic IT Planning, and Tech Modernization initiatives

What we value:

• Excellent academic record including financial acumen;
• Native or fluent business level German and English is essential;
• A successful track record in a top tier strategy or advisory firm;
• Experience advising PE firms and blue-chip corporations at critical transformation points
• Deep Technology expertise – to assess technology, architectures, and infrastructures to drive value creation;
• Execution Excellence with balance – Strong attention to detail, ability to manage priorities effectively, and a commitment to delivering results in a supportive, high-performing culture.

If you are passionate about solving complex business challenges, driving transformation, and making a lasting impact, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and welcome candidates who thrive in a collaborative, high-performing environment.
