EY-Parthenon Assistant Director – Financial Diligence, TMT
The opportunity
At EY-Parthenon, our unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions, tax and corporate finance deliver real‑world value – solutions that work in practice, not just on paper. Benefiting from EY’s full spectrum of services, we’ve reimagined strategic consulting to work in a world of increasing complexity. With deep functional and sector expertise, paired with innovative AI‑powered technology and an investor mindset, we partner with CEOs, boards, private equity and governments every step of the way. Continuing change and growth within all components of the TMT sector, combined with market‑leading credentials, means we have successfully achieved continued double‑digit growth with lots of further greenfield opportunities.
Our core work is due diligence – assessing a target company’s finances and business projections, identifying opportunities, risks, sensitivities and potential mitigations, and reporting on these to our clients, their banks, investors and other parties.
You will have exposure to our high‑profile global and leading large‑cap private equity clients. As you develop relationships with our team, you will have real client influence and a platform for your future.

In your role as an Assistant Director, you will have responsibility for understanding the key revenue, profitability and business drivers, co‑developing our approach with the client, agreeing value measurements, providing value to the client through insights, factual conclusions and advice. You will project‑manage teams and work closely with all members, as well as forming strong internal links within the Financial Diligence and wider TMT sub‑service lines in EY both in the UK and internationally to create multi‑disciplinary teams. You will gather, verify and assess information to formulate views, and plan, prepare and review deliverables in various forms including written reports, presentations and discussions with the client.
