Are you ready to make an impact?

Our Mergers & Acquisitions Practice is seeking a Director to join our rapidly growing London office. In this leadership role, you will work with corporate and private equity clients across the transaction lifecycle—from buy-side due diligence and sell-side readiness through carve-outs, merger integrations, separations, and post-close value creation initiatives.

As a Director, you will balance three core responsibilities: growing client relationships, leading complex engagements, and helping build our M&A practice in the UK. You will play an integral role in shaping our London office through recruiting, mentoring, practice development, and contributing to our entrepreneurial culture while working alongside a team of experienced M&A professionals.

- Serve as the executive sponsor for complex engagements, providing strategic direction, quality assurance, and overall programme leadership.
- Lead executive workshops and present recommendations to C-suite executives, investment teams, and boards.
- Assess operating models, organisational structures, business processes, and technology landscapes to identify opportunities for value creation.
- Guide clients through integration management office (IMO) or programme management office (PMO) governance, planning, execution, and risk management.
- Partner with engagement teams to develop practical recommendations that improve operational performance, reduce risk, and accelerate value capture.
- Manage engagement economics, including project financials, forecasting, staffing, and client satisfaction.
### Practice Development

- Help shape the continued growth and strategic direction of the London M&A practice.
- Coach, mentor, and develop consultants and emerging leaders while fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture.
- Lead recruiting efforts and help attract and retain top consulting talent.
- Contribute to the development and enhancement of West Monroe's M&A methodologies, tools, intellectual property, and market offerings.
- Collaborate with leaders across the firm to support office initiatives and cross-functional growth opportunities.
- Actively contribute to the entrepreneurial culture of the London office through leadership, innovation, and continuous improvement.
