- Coordinate internal and external advisers and workstreams across finance, tax, legal, commercial, operations, technology and people matters. Maintain transaction governance, confidentiality, documentation and approvals in line with company policies and applicable requirements.
- Partner with business leaders to develop integration, synergy and value-creation plans with clear baselines, milestones, ownership and reporting. Monitor post-close performance against the investment case and escalate risks or deviations.
