Associate Director - Cyber M&A - Private Equity Focus
An opportunity has arisen for an Associate Director specialising in Cyber M&A, with a strong focus on private equity transactions. This role will support investors, portfolio companies and executive stakeholders through the assessment of cyber risk across acquisitions, disposals, carve-outs and post-deal transformation programmes. You will lead complex engagements from initial scoping and due diligence through to reporting, remediation planning and value creation, providing clear, commercially focused advice on the impact of cyber security on investment decisions.
Responsibilities will include directing cyber due diligence reviews; assessing security governance, technology environments, resilience, data protection, third-party risk and regulatory exposure; identifying material risks and potential liabilities; and translating technical findings into concise recommendations for investment committees and senior stakeholders. You will develop workplans, manage budgets and delivery teams, review key outputs and maintain strong relationships with clients, advisers and transaction professionals. The role will also involve supporting the development of market propositions, contributing to proposals, coaching consultants and helping portfolio businesses establish practical cyber improvement roadmaps aligned to their investment objectives.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security consulting, transaction services, technology risk, or a related advisory environment, together with proven exposure to private equity, M&A or investment-led transformation. A strong understanding of cyber frameworks, threat and vulnerability management, identity and access management, cloud security, incident response and regulatory expectations is required. You will be confident engaging with C-suite leaders and investment professionals, presenting complex issues in clear commercial language and exercising sound judgement under tight deadlines. Excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, alongside the ability to lead multiple engagements and develop high-performing teams. Professional qualifications in cyber security, risk, audit or technology are desirable.
