Want to join a fast-moving company, work among convivial teams, and take part in the global growth strategy of one of the most prestigious and comprehensive portfolios in the wine & spirits industry? We are looking for a Global Corporate Strategy & M&A Senior Manager! You will be based at The Island, our office in central Paris.

Your key missions:

Reporting to the Global Corporate Strategy & M&A Director within the Group Finance department, you will help shape and implement Pernod Ricard's corporate strategy and M&A agenda, combining strategic analysis with end-to-end deal execution and providing fact-based recommendations to senior management.

• You will contribute to defining the Group's M&A priorities, target universe and key areas of strategic interest.
• You will lead in-depth assessments of potential transactions from multiple value-creation perspectives (strategic, operational, financial), building detailed business cases and financial models covering valuation, returns, sensitivities and scenarios.
• You will prepare written recommendations, valuation materials and strategic rationale for the Group's top management and governance bodies.
• You will manage transactions end to end: comprehensive due diligence with internal and external advisors, coordination of cross-functional stakeholders (tax, controlling, legal, HR) and external partners (accounting, banking), and evaluation of structuring scenarios with legal and tax teams.
• You will contribute to the review and negotiation of financial and operational provisions in transaction documentation, in alignment with the legal M&A team, and coordinate signing and closing activities.
• You will support transition, integration or separation planning, including synergy and value-capture roadmaps and post-closing follow-up.
• You will support the development, articulation and periodic review of the Group's corporate strategy through market analyses, target landscaping, competitive intelligence and benchmarking (financial performance, brand portfolio, positioning).
• You will contribute to internal missions aimed at optimizing the Group's efficiency and effectiveness, including strategic reviews of specific business lines or activities.
• You will maintain the Group's network of advisors and bankers to identify market opportunities, and interact regularly with affiliate CFOs, CoDi members, functional heads and senior bankers.
• You will operate on a global scope, with business travel of up to 20% depending on deals.

If you recognize yourself in the description below, don't wait to apply!

• You have a postgraduate degree and 5+ years of experience in investment banking, consulting or Big Four transaction services.
• You have strong analytical skills, together with the capacity to grasp the big picture.
• You have excellent oral and written communication skills in both French and English.
• You have proven coordination skills in cross-functional and international environments, and the ability to lead projects and mobilize senior internal and external stakeholders without direct reports.
• You are autonomous: you produce supporting materials, business plans and valuations, work directly with outside counsel on due diligence, gather the information you need internally and run meetings as the sole M&A representative.
• You are highly organized, proactive and available at short notice.
• You have a strategic mindset, you drive results and you adapt your approach to each situation.
• You are committed to excellence and uphold high professional and ethical standards.
