At Deloitte, our Purpose is to make an impact that matters. We exist to inspire and help our people, organizations, communities, and countries to thrive by building a better future. Our work underpins a prosperous society where people can find meaning and opportunity. It builds consumer and business confidence, empowers organizations to find imaginative ways of deploying capital, enables fair, trusted, and functioning social and economic institutions, and allows our friends, families, and communities to enjoy the quality of life that comes with a sustainable future. And as the largest 100% Canadian-owned and operated professional services firm in our country, we are proud to work alongside our clients to make a positive impact for all Canadians.

By living our Purpose, we will make an impact that matters.

  • Have many careers in one Firm.
  • Enjoy flexible, proactive, and practical benefits that foster a culture of well-being and connectedness.
  • Learn from deep subject matter experts through mentoring and on the job coaching

Are you ready to make a significant impact in a dynamic and fast-paced environment? We're looking for a Senior Associate to join our team and support HR diligence and value creation efforts. In this role, you will drive HR due diligence, cost savings, and revenue enhancement initiatives that deliver measurable results for our clients.

While prior M&A or due diligence experience is a plus, it's not a requirement. We're seeking someone who can leverage their experience in HR consulting-whether in benefits, pensions, health, actuarial, executive compensation, or HR operations-to create value in transformative business transactions.

What will your typical day look like?

As a core member of our Deal Transformation & Post Merger Integration Team (DT&PMI) Human Resources Due Diligence (HRDD) team, you will collaborate closely with our diligence Managers and Senior Managers to support high-impact M&A pre-deal transactions. You'll play a critical role in conducting detailed, financially focused pre-signing due diligence on key HR areas, including workforce dynamics and the evaluation of material deal drivers related to compensation and benefits.

Your responsibilities will include examining complex elements such as retirement plans (including pensions), stock-based awards, executive employment contracts, change-in-control agreements, and health & welfare coverages. You'll also contribute to HR value creation initiatives, identifying and implementing strategies that drive revenue growth and cost savings for our private equity clients.

This is a dynamic role where your expertise will directly influence the success of major transactions, and you'll be empowered to uncover innovative solutions that create real business value.

Responsibilities :

  • Conduct HR due diligence to identify and quantify risks and opportunities across compensation, benefits, compliance, labor relations, HR operations, and talent & culture.
  • Manage the data flow in the diligence lifecycle, including overseeing information requests and reviewing dataroom documents.
  • Develop financial and analytical models to provide data-driven insights that impact the deal model (debt, EBITDA, etc.).
  • Support the preparation for diligence discussions with the Seller or Target's management team.
  • Conduct HR carve-out assessments, including designing standalone organizational structures, evaluating HR costs, and reviewing Transition Service Agreements (TSAs).
  • Draft concise data summaries, exhibits, and write-ups for the HR diligence report.
  • Coordinate HR diligence findings with other teams (finance, tax, IT) within Deloitte, clients, and external advisors.
  • Contribute to labor value creation and EBITDA improvement projects for private equity clients.
  • Effectively manage multiple priorities, applying strong project management, problem-solving, and facilitation skills.
  • About the team

    This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, ambitious, results oriented individual to make a significant contribution to our dynamic and growing Deal Transformation & Post Merger Integration Team (DT&PMI). Situated within Deloitte's Strategy, Risk and Transactions (SRT), Mergers & Acquisitions offering, our team plays a pivotal role helping clients drive value in the context of mergers and acquisitions. As part of a collaborative and high-performance team, you'll have the opportunity to work on complex and impactful projects, helping clients navigate their most critical HR challenges while advancing your career in the world of M&A. If you're passionate about delivering results and excited to apply your HR expertise in a transaction and data-driven environment, this is the perfect role for you!

    Enough about us, let's talk about you

    Requirements :

  • In-depth knowledge of HR operations, compensation, and benefits.
  • Experience in communicating the financial impact (e.g., expenses, liabilities) related to specific HR functional areas, such as HR operations, benefits, pensions, or compensation.
  • Strong technical proficiency in financial reporting; literacy in financial statements is a plus.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities, with the capacity to make sound decisions under tight deadlines.
  • Comfortable navigating imperfect or incomplete diligence data, with a strong drive to deliver results.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both oral and written, including the ability to present effectively (MS PowerPoint), analyze data (MS Excel, Tableau, SQL), and write clear, impactful reports.
  • Proficiency in French with strong written and verbal communication skills is required for our Montreal location and considered an asset for other locations.
  • Proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding project deliverables and objectives.
  • Ability to manage parts of an engagement independently, including drafting concise data summaries.
  • Strong adaptability and willingness to learn new skills in a fast-paced environment.
  • A proactive attitude and a desire to contribute to the growth of a newly formed team.
  • Minimum Experience :

  • 2 to 3+ years of hands-on experience in HR consulting, specializing in areas such as retirement, pensions, healthcare, actuarial, benefits, executive compensation, or HR operations.
  • Preferred Experience (not required, but a plus) :
