A CIPD qualification or equivalent professional accreditation is also desirable. Who will thrive here? You’re someone who enjoys bringing structure to complexity. You can move comfortably between strategic discussions with leadership and the practical detail required to deliver an integration successfully. You understand that successful M&A is about more than systems, structures and processes. It’s about people, trust, communication and ensuring that the business continues to perform while change takes place. You’re resilient, commercially minded and comfortable taking ownership in an environment where priorities can evolve quickly. The next step in your career This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional HR business partnering and into a role where you can influence acquisition outcomes, shape the employee experience and build a valuable specialism in people integration. If you’re ready to combine people strategy, M&A and hands-on delivery in a role with real business impact, we’d welcome a confidential conversation.
