Join the M&A Returns Excellence team within Corporate Finance as a Senior Program Manager and play a pivotal role in shaping our mergers and acquisitions success.

  • Establish governance to ensure accountability, early risk identification, and performance tracking against key integration outcomes

  • Lead executive communications by synthesizing cross-functional inputs into strategic reports and presentations for the Steering Team

  • Facilitate high-impact meetings with stakeholders at all levels, managing end-to-end coordination and documentation

  • Build team capability by coaching junior resources and overseeing their deliverables

  • Champion continuous improvement through process optimization, automation, and lessons-learned documentation

  • Apply best practices from previous M&A projects to drive better outcomes

What You Bring

 

  • 5-7 years of project management experience using established methodologies and best practices

  • M&A expertise with hands-on post-merger integration

  • Executive presence with the ability to build credibility and influence stakeholders at all levels

  • Communication skills that translate complexity into clarity through written, verbal, and presentation formats

  • Agility and resilience to thrive in ambiguity, manage shifting priorities, and meet tight deadlines
