Devoteam is a European tech consulting group helping clients take AI from pilots to value at scale, across AI, Cloud, Data, Cybersecurity and Platforms. M&A is one of the levers of our strategy: we acquire focused, entrepreneurial firms across Europe that bring AI capability, delivery capacity, partner depth and new client access.

You will join a small corporate M&A team working directly with Group executive leadership.

What You Can Expect

• Close proximity with the executive leadership of one of Europe's leading AI-driven tech consulting companies.
• Real ownership: in a lean team, you run workstreams end to end and present your own work to senior management and the Investment Committee.
• A Private Equity-backed, entrepreneurial company, with dynamic multicultural colleagues and cross-border deals.
• An AI-native way of working: the team is rebuilding its own process around AI, and you will be expected to both use and improve it.

What You'll Do

• Drive the full M&A process on selected strategic targets, from identification to execution:
  • Source potential opportunities in line with our strategic plan;
  • Gather, analyse, and present information on potential acquisition targets;
  • Build the case together with the business sponsor: company profile, IM analysis, strategic fit, key risks and an early view of the integration plan;
  • Prepare financial models, target valuations and appropriate sensitivity and scenario analyses to support investment decisions;
  • Manage the full transaction cycle: management meetings, project structuring, LOI, due diligence, contract negotiations, closing.
• Build balanced relationships with business stakeholders across our countries, bankers, advisors and all counterparties you will negotiate with.

Who You Are

• Master's degree in a quantitative discipline (Business, Finance, Econometrics, Engineering, etc.).
• 3 to 5 years of experience in corporate M&A, investment banking or transaction services in an international environment.
• Solid financial modelling and valuation skills, and the ability to turn analysis into a clear story on a slide.
• A hands-on AI user: you already work with generative AI tools daily, you are curious about how they change both our industry and our own job, and you keep a critical eye on their output.
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to communicate with different stakeholders.
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) in English and French. Spanish would be a plus.
• Autonomous, rigorous and flexible.
• General knowledge of and curiosity for our industry is a plus.
