The role

This is a hands-on delivery leadership role, owning the day-to-day execution of large, complex transformation initiatives across the deal lifecycle: due diligence, integration planning, new operating models, organisation design and restructures, location or offshoring strategy and workforce analytics. At the core of it is the people side of M&A;, helping organisations bring two workforces together with clarity, care and commercial rigour.

- Turn analysis into evidence-based recommendations that balance commercial, customer, workforce and design outcomes
- Lead project teams and cross-functional contributors to keep delivery momentum through the deal timeline

- Support governance: critical path, risk and issue management, dependencies, reporting, budget, resourcing and scope




- Flag resourcing gaps and recommend fixes to keep delivery on track
- Track progress against milestones, financial impact and benefits realisation
- Translate design recommendations into practical, embedded implementation plans
- Guide leaders and stakeholders through the people impacts of change, keeping it compliant and human, particularly where trust is tested during a deal
- Build genuine, trusted relationships across the business to clear barriers and get things done
