Senior in the Delivering Deal Value team

With offices in 156 countries and more than 295,000 people, we are among the leading professional services networks in the world. We help organisations and individuals create the value they’re looking for, by delivering quality in assurance, tax and advisory services.

The Delivering Deal Value (DDV) is a Sofia-based team that operates as part of the wider Deals practice within PwC Bulgaria and is planned to triple over the next 2 years. While based in Sofia, it is currently dedicated to supporting the DDV UK team in London. This means that all the DDV work is on UK and global deals predominantly with mid- and large-cap international companies.

Our DDV UK is the market leader business, assisting both Corporate and Private Equity clients in a wide range of high impact business situations. Most of its work is in the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) space, both pre and post deal. The M&A Deals they work on range in size from £50m to over £5bn and the clients include several of the most well-known brands and businesses in the world.

Bring your unique skills and perspective to a diverse community of solvers. Design your success at PwC. Be part of the New Equation.

In the DDV in Sofia you will not be aligned to a sector or specialist team. The type of client projects you work on will vary based on the demand and the current deal market, therefore a high degree of flexibility is expected.

You will be working on a range of the different products we offer as a team, including:

• Carve out and divestment support – i.e. what does the business look like standalone, what support and transition services will it need to function? How can we help our clients execute the separation and ensure a smooth Day 1?


• Taking control and 100 day planning – i.e. how can our clients safely take control of the business and manage risk 


• Pre-deal value creation advisory – i.e. where can we see value for our client in this deal?


• Buy and sell side operational due diligence – i.e. has the business been performing well?What could be improved to unlock further value for our client?


• Synergy development and review – i.e. where are the synergies between two businesses and how well has the plan for capturing these synergies been compiled?


• Mergers & Acquisitions Integration – i.e. how can our clients protect and grow value in an acquisition, what is the right level of integration to achieve this?


• Post-acquisition performance improvement using our Rapid Value Creation methodology – i.e. where might value lie in the business and how can we generate sustainable cost savings?
