We're recruiting for multiple M&A; (people in deals) roles, joining a business that partners with P&C; and the wider organisation to lead people through complex deals and workforce transformation, with a strong focus on the people side of M&A.;
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, recent operating models, organisation design and restructures, location or offshoring strategy and workforce analytics.

Run organisational diagnostics through due diligence and integration to surface risks in people and opportunities
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
Bring structure and insight to diagnose risks quickly, especially where deal pressure and ambiguity collide
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
About you
