Seeking a highly accomplished senior post-purchase business carve out and integration Programme Manager.

This is a hands on programme leader role bringing expertise in M&A combined with strong programme delivery skills. Will lead a full set of business separation and integration workstreams (legal, commercial, tech, people, ops) with absolute precision and board-level accountability.

Require super concise accurate communications at all times and commercial astuteness. As with all integrations, time is of the essence for a high-quality full business integration in accordance with the business purchase requirements.

• Ability to provide strategic integration guidance and methodology to senior leadership teams

You will coordinate all workstreams (people, operations, tech, brand, customer, finance) ensuring Day 1 readiness, business continuity and synergy capture on time and on budget, with full accountability for programme success.

You will be supported by a full team of workstream SMEs and existing in house project management resource, but you must be the undisputed integration expert leading the strategic direction and tactical delivery.

• You do not meet the 3+ integration programmes requirement above
• You are a generic Programme Manager without integration specialisation
• You are a Project Manager seeking progression
• You are a business operational manager without programme integration expertise
• You cannot demonstrate board-level reporting and strategic advisory experience
