What if we didn’t focus on who you are now, but who you could become?

Be part of the market leading transaction strategy and execution practice focusing on Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and Value Creation? Kick-start your career by joining our Transaction Strategy and Execution (TSE) team at EY-Parthenon in August 2025.

EY-Parthenon is a global strategy consultancy focusing on a broad range of topics within M&A, Value Creation, Transformation, Corporate & Growth Strategy. We continue to grow our global presence and are looking for the best and brightest talents to join our Copenhagen office.

The role and opportunities

The TSE team within EY-Parthenon is a dynamic team that applies the latest thinking and a hands-on approach to solve complex business matters. Our team supports clients with the development, evaluation and end-to-end execution of their transaction strategy.

What is special about working in our team is that we engage with a broad range of stakeholders from the CEO to functional leads and that our projects are very different depending on the situation. This means that you will advise clients throughout the M&A lifecycle from due diligence, negotiations, Day 1 Operating Model and post-merger integration (PMI).

We work across the following diverse areas, with the opportunity to specialize as you progress:

Deal Strategy and Value Creation

You can work alongside clients to formulate and realize their strategic objectives in an M&A context, by defining principles and setting priorities for their acquisition/divestment, support integrations and work with value creation projects. Hence, you will identify and analyze cost optimization and synergy opportunities and collaborate with the clients to design and implement them.

Buy & Integrate and Sell & Separate

You can work on operational projects where you will collaborate with clients to realize the value of M&A by solving complex issues with multiple stakeholders. In these projects you will assess the quality of the operational functions and operating models to assure that the strategic objectives of the acquisition are met and implemented.

Technology Due Diligence

You can work to provide strategic advice within technology due diligence where you will assess technology infrastructure and provide advice on how to integrate or separate different technology systems in the context of a transaction. Furthermore, you will evaluate the potential of different emerging technologies and their potential in an M&A context.
