Mergers and Acquisition Manager - Strategy (India)

**About Creston Advisory Group**

Creston Advisory Group advises private equity funds and strategic acquirers across the full M&A lifecycle, providing support in commercial, operational, and IT due diligence, as well as post-merger integration and value creation initiatives.

We are building out its India team and hiring a Director to lead cross-border M&A engagements, primarily serving US-based private equity funds and strategic acquirers.

This is a remote, front-end leadership role. Not backend execution. You will lead live deals, own senior client relationships, and work directly with investors and executive leadership across the transaction lifecycle.

**What You’ll Lead**

* Oversee integration and carve-out strategy with clear execution governance
* Own end-to-end standalone, synergy, IT, and commercial diligence engagements
* Lead client, investor and board-level discussions with confidence and clarity
* Identify risks, quantify synergies, and define value creation strategy
* Build, mentor, and scale high-performing deal teams
* Contribute to business development and help shape the India platform

**What We’re Looking For**

* 6–8 years of experience in consulting, M&A, or transaction advisory
* Strong track record of leading teams and managing senior client stakeholders
* Deep analytical capability across financial and operational drivers
* Experience with private equity or cross-border engagements preferred
* Flexibility to work across US time zones given the front-end, client-facing nature of the role

**Compensation**

Compensation will be competitive with top-tier consulting and transaction advisory firms, aligned with experience and leadership capability.

**Why Creston**

* High-growth opportunity as we scale the India platform
* Direct exposure to global private equity clients
* Real leadership responsibility from day one
* Lean structure with accelerated progression
