TAG is a subsidiary of A&M, an established leader in providing global leadership and advisory services to a variety of diverse industries. A&M TAG is seeking a Director to bring their energy, passion, and expertise to help our clients get the answers they need to get the deal done. We provide private equity and corporate clients with buy- and sell-side commercial due diligence (CDD). CDD professionals actively engage in developing well-constructed hypotheses, completing detailed research and analysis, and conducting comprehensive discussions with industry experts, along with management and their advisors.

• Communicating regularly with clients regarding engagement matters (e.g., preparation of proposals, updates, request lists, billing status).
• Helping maximize the value the client receives from A&M, by monitoring engagement leverage, efficiency of staff, and appropriateness of T&Es billed by all team members.
• Effectively handles all relationship matters with clients, with limited Managing Director involvement, and effectively manage day-to-day client interaction and relationships and continue to emphasize the capabilities of A&M to clients.
• Proactively recruiting, training, counselling and mentoring the junior members of the team.
• Assisting Managing Directors and Senior Directors in sales and business development efforts.
• Managing all engagement setup and risk management tasks, as per policies laid out by A&M
• Displaying a core understanding of all TAG services and striving to cross-sell TAG and other A&M services, as opportunities arise.

This includes performance-based career progression and promotion process, high-quality practice-wide training programs, a global mobility program, rotation opportunities in other practice areas, employee resource groups, and a health and wellness program.
