Technology Due Diligence Lead (M&A and SaaS Platforms)

About Intelance Intelance is an independent technology, AI and cyber assurance firm based in the UK. We help organisations check, govern and improve their technology through enterprise architecture, AI governance, cyber assurance and data governance work. We are building a small panel of senior associates to deliver technology and AI due diligence on company sales and investments. The role You will lead technology due diligence engagements for clients who are selling, buying or investing in software companies. Some reviews are paid for by the seller and run in two stages: a private readiness review so the company can fix issues first, then a report that buyers read in the data room. Our first engagements are with data and AI platforms in regulated sectors. You lead the work day to day. An Intelance engagement partner owns the client relationship and signs off the report, and you work alongside our AI assurance, cloud security, data protection and GxP specialists. What you will do Review the architecture, code, cloud set up and data pipelines of modern data platforms, such as those built on Google Cloud, BigQuery, dbt, Airflow and Looker. Run code and open source licence scans, and turn the results into clear findings. Interview founders and technical leads, request evidence and review it. Keep the evidence log, so every statement in the report is backed by a document or by two people. Rate each finding by how it could affect the deal, and write a fix list the seller can act on. Bring the specialist findings together and write both reports to a standard a buyer's advisers will trust. What you will bring At least five years in technology due diligence, technical advisory or senior engineering leadership. At least three due diligence reports written as the main author. Experience of a vendor report shared with buyers is a strong plus. Hands on knowledge of modern data platforms and SaaS architecture. Google Cloud, BigQuery and dbt are a strong plus. Sound judgement on code quality, technical debt, scalability, secure development and open source licence risk. Clear, plain writing. Your reports are read by founders, buyers and lawyers. A calm, respectful manner with founders who are close to their product. Experience with health, clinical or other regulated data is a strong plus. How the work is set up Remote within the UK, with occasional meetings in London. Around 2 to 3 days a week from late November 2026 to the end of January 2027, with further engagements as the practice grows. Freelance, or through your own limited company, at £650 to £800 a day depending on experience. Reasonable travel costs for client meetings are covered. A panel agreement, NDA and statement of work are signed before any client details are shared. You work from an Intelance mailbox and use our evidence log and report templates, so every report meets the same standard. How to apply Send your CV and answer the short screening questions.
