Delivering Deal Value (DDV)
Delivering Deal Value (DDV) is a market leading team sitting within PwC's Consulting business, assisting both corporate and private equity (PE) clients. We work with clients ranging in size from £50m to over £50bn and our clients include several of the most well-known brands and businesses in the world. We predominantly work on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), both pre and post deal, and we regularly work alongside our colleagues in Transactions. As part of your career in DDV you'll also work on delivering non-deal transformation projects.
Our DDV team focuses on providing support for transactions and assists clients in all operational aspects of the transaction, pre and post deal, including:
- pre-deal value creation advisory - i.e. where can we see value for our client in this deal?
- buy and sell side operational due diligence - i.e. what could be improved to unlock further value for our client?
- synergy development and diligence review - i.e. where are the synergies between two businesses and how well has the plan for capturing these synergies been compiled?
- carve out due diligence and divestment support
- taking control and 100 day planning
- mergers and acquisition integration
- post-acquisition performance improvement using our Rapid Value Creation methodology.
We're experts in developing an understanding of the target/client business in order to assimilate the key operational issues, synergies, risks and upsides around a transaction. We communicate our findings in real time to our clients as well as producing written reports articulating our findings for the buyer or seller. We regularly help our clients with post deal implementation projects including taking control of the acquired business, tracking synergy delivery plan, and implementing cost reduction opportunities.
Programme
Open to all, this vacancy is aimed primarily at inspiring and supporting Black students seeking an experience in professional services as part of our commitment to improve diversity across the organisation.

During this three-day paid programme you'll get an insight into what a career at PwC could look like, you'll meet mentors and buddies who'll represent the variety of opportunities available across PwC. You'll meet some of our Black colleagues to hear about their own personal career journeys, as well as from some of our networks focussed on Inclusion and Diversity. Through interactive sessions the programme will help you to develop confidence in a business setting and encourage you to bring your whole self to the workplace. At PwC, we nurture an environment where our people can be the best they can be.
Our Black Talent in Business programme will be a 3-day paid programme. You will need to be in the UK to complete this programme.
What you'll do
As a graduate in DDV you'll rotate through our different sub teams, which are either industry specific or cross-sector (e.g. retail, consumer and leisure, telecom media and technology, industrial products and services, finance, technology etc.). At the end of your graduate programme you'll then have the opportunity to join one of these teams.
Our teams range from two to twenty people and on a typical project you'll analyse the client data to draw commercial insights and conclusions which will eventually be presented to our clients. The engagement manager will rely on you for effective support throughout the transaction process. Our engagements vary in length and you could spend between two weeks and three months working on a project. Many projects provide the opportunity to travel, either internationally or within the UK.
Your responsibilities can include:
- quantitative analysis of the operational aspects of a transaction
- preparation of client presentations or reports
- liaising with multiple stakeholders, both external and internal to build strong and meaningful relationships
- outside of project work, you'll be involved in business development (BD) activities including industry, or client specific research to identify potential clients or areas of opportunity. As part of the BD activities you'll typically create pitch or discussion documents which will be presented or discussed with our potential clients.
What you'll need
You'll need to be on track to pass an undergraduate degree or above in any subject. We determine whether you're on course to pass based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study.
You'll need to be in your penultimate year of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree; or
You'll need to be in your final year of an undergraduate degree with a one year postgraduate place confirmed
When to apply
Once you have submitted your application you'll have seven days to complete the online test, this is the first stage of our recruitment process.
