• Maintain structured project tracking and reporting mechanisms to ensure visibility of milestones, dependencies, and risks throughout the transaction cycle.

• Support scope analysis activities, compiling relevant workforce data and documentation to inform decisions around integration, separation, and transition planning.

• Act as a trusted partner within a small, high-performing team-demonstrating initiative, stepping in as needed to maintain continuity, and operating effectively in an environment of evolving priorities and ambiguity.

• Experience supporting mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or other highly confidential initiatives is considered an asset.
