PE Technology Advisory Recruitment — UK, Europe & US
We place the technology talent PE technology advisory firms depend on, across permanent, contract and interim engagements. From Technology M&A Advisory leadership and Control Tower governance to programme delivery leads and portfolio company CIOs. Boutique. Relationship-led. No database spray.
What We Do
Private equity technology advisory firms sit at the intersection of PE sponsors and the portfolio companies they back — steering carve-out IT separation, TSA exit and Day 1 readiness on live, high-stakes transactions. The people who do this work well are rare, and they don't sit on job boards.
We place across both sides of a PE technology mandate, but the weight is on the advisory side. That is three tiers: the Technology M&A Advisory leadership who run due diligence, the deal lifecycle and the client relationships; the Control Tower governance seats that give sponsors independent assurance above PMO; and the Programme Delivery leads, PMO, ERP, applications and infrastructure, who own the workstreams. On the portfolio company side, we place the CIO directly into the business, interim or permanent, and help them build out the wider technology team.
Who We Place
Advisory Side · UK, Europe & US
The leadership tier. Principal, Director and VP-level advisors who work alongside PE Operating Partners and portfolio company CIOs across the full deal lifecycle: IT due diligence with a value creation lens, carve-out and integration strategy, and the commercial relationships and new business that build the practice.
Discuss a mandate →Advisory Side · UK, Europe & US
Programme governance and independent assurance. The seat that gives sponsors real visibility, sharp challenge, and the interventions needed to protect value when delivery gets messy. Sits above PMO, reports into the boardroom, across ERP programmes and carve-out and TSA-exit separations.
Discuss a mandate →Advisory Side · UK, Europe & US
The workstream owners beneath the Control Tower, running delivery end to end: solution design, build, test, data migration, cutover and hypercare. PMO leads who own the operating backbone, and ERP, applications and infrastructure leads who carry the technical tracks through separation.
Discuss a mandate →PortCo Side · UK, Europe & US
Placed directly into the portfolio company. Leading the separation, stabilisation and transformation of the technology environment: Day 1 readiness, TSA governance and exit, the standalone build, and the value-focused technology strategy that follows. Interim for the carve-out, or permanent for the carve-out and the run beyond it.
Discuss a mandate →PortCo Side · Multi-Hire
Where a carve-out needs more than one seat, we help the CIO build out the wider portfolio company technology team, resourcing the leadership layer needed to stand the business up and run it as its own entity.
Discuss a build-out →How We Work
We understand exactly how you hire — seniority band, advisory pedigree, delivery depth — before a single name goes forward.
We approach candidates directly through networks built over decades, including those not actively looking on job boards.
Every candidate is tested specifically on hands-on carve-out and TSA delivery, not just advisory involvement, before presentation.
Structured, branded submissions and full support through interview, offer and onboarding into a live mandate.
