## Job description

## About Cuesta Partners

Cuesta Partners is a boutique technology consulting firm supporting private equity firms and their portfolio companies in creating lasting technological advantage. We deliver pragmatic, tech-focused strategy and execution across the entire deal lifecycle, from pre-close diligence through post-close transformation.

Job Overview A Manager / Sr. Manager in our M&A practice will lead high-impact technology due diligence (TDD) engagements and partner with private equity clients across buy-side and sell-side transactions. This position requires a combination of deep technical expertise, strong analytical capabilities, and the ability to guide teams within fast-paced private equity environments. This is not a technical program management role. You will assess the scalability, risks, and value creation potential across multiple technical domains and advise deal teams on technology risks, integration challenges, and strategic opportunities.

- Deep expertise in at least three of the following five technical domains:
- Data & AI
- Custom Software

- Infrastructure
- Tech Talent & Org Structure
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities.
- Demonstrated experience influencing without direct authority and collaborating across teams.

## Preferred Background

- Experience leading technology due diligence in M&A transactions; private equity exposure strongly preferred.
- Prior leadership experience managing teams in high-volume, client-facing environments.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts in clear business terms.

## Compensation & Growth

- Competitive base salary with an annual bonus.
- Rapid career advancement opportunities in a high-growth consulting environment.
- Remote-first role with quarterly team summits.

## What You’ll Gain

- Significant exposure and professional growth within private equity technology consulting.
- Flexible working arrangements supporting work–life balance.
- Influence in shaping the firm’s strategy, offerings, and client impact.
- Collaboration with a high-performing, entrepreneurial team.
- Comprehensive benefits including healthcare, dental, vision, 401(k) with matching, PTO, and more.
