Focused on enterprise-wide change to help drive EBITDA and/or cash improvement, our highly experienced experts successfully work with clients in strategic transformation situations, for example, where an activist investor is looking for accelerated results, or where a company is looking to sustainably improve their earnings and profitability.

We help our clients navigate complex merger integrations and carve-outs and work for corporations across several industries including Retail, Consumer Products, Industrials, Manufacturing, Media, Hospitality and Pharmaceuticals.

Retail and Consumer Transformation

The Retail and Consumer team focus on providing sector specific transformation capabilities including commercial effectiveness, organisation design and performance improvement with a focus on reducing costs as well as growing the top line. As a team we work with some of the most recognisable Consumer and Retail brands, working across geographies and partnering with C-suite stakeholders.

The senior team dont just have capabilities as advisors but in most cases also have a proven and successful track record as a senior level executive in operational roles within an organisation. These senior professionals relish the opportunity to work in a hands-on style with senior client management, and with the entrepreneurial freedom and opportunities which are at the heart of A&Ms culture.

  • Experience from industry roles is highly desirable although not essential
  • A solid background in designing and delivering transformation and performance improvement projects

  • A proven track record in the execution of transformation projects and delivering performance improvements
  • A data driven mindset and analytical rigour, ideally combined with financial experience
  • Capacity to thrive in a fast-paced, challenging, and unpredictable environment.
  • Professional network across the UK and European Retail and/or Consumer industry is highly desirable, especially for Senior Directors
  • Fluency in English is essential and other European languages are highly desirable due to our cross-border approach.

Whilst working within a collaborative cross-border team candidates will bring their leadership skills and expertise to shape and grow the future of this dynamic team.

Additionally, candidates will be operating on a pan-European level across a wider A&M community such as Private Equity, Restructuring and other A&M business units to lead and manage the engagement and client relationship in the Retail and Consumer Sector.

This is a fantastic opportunity within A&M and an opportunity to become an integral part of our successful hands-on team.
