In this pivotal position, you will lead efforts to ensure seamless operational and cultural integration across the organization following a merger or acquisition.

This is a fixed-term contract for six months, offering a unique opportunity to make a significant impact during a critical period of organizational change.
We are seeking a candidate with hands-on experience in post-merger acquisition integration activities, focusing on operational and cultural synergies.

You’ll navigate ambiguity with confidence, steering multiple initiatives toward impactful outcomes. This is your opportunity to lead transformative change, ensuring every integration is a step toward stronger, more unified success.

Here’s how you’ll get to make that happen:
- As the PMI programme manager plan and implement post-merger integration strategies, including facilitating workshops to align both companies’ cultures, systems, and operations.
- Own the planning, execution, and delivery of multiple complex integration projects, ensuring adherence to timelines, budget, and scope.
- Interact with stakeholders at various levels, including senior executives and workstream leads, to provide updates, address concerns, and align project goals with PMI objectives
- Identify potential risks and issues early in the project lifecycle, proactively addressing them and implementing mitigation strategies to minimize impact on project delivery
- Utilize project management tools/methodologies for tracking project tasks, documenting business requirements, decisions, risks and managing project documentation
- Provide regular status reports to senior stakeholders, highlighting key milestones, budget updates, and any critical issues requiring attention
- Tailor communication methods and cadence to the audience's level of seniority and interest, employing a combination of email updates, virtual meetings, and executive communications
What you will bring -

Key attributes include:
- Expertise in managing complex change environments with exceptional stakeholder management and leadership skills.
- Adaptability to thrive autonomously in fast-paced, ambiguous settings while driving results.
- Outstanding communication and influence, ensuring alignment and transparency across all organizational levels.
- Strategic planning and execution capabilities to deliver complex projects on time and within scope.
