Drive close readiness across eight or more workstreams, coordinating Employee Day 1 operations, IT integration, systems readiness, communications, and team logistics.
Partner with internal teams and acquisition stakeholders to identify, assess, and resolve integration risks and blockers in real time.
Build and maintain integration issue registers and status reporting, including executive briefings, biweekly updates, and escalation management.
Partner closely with Digital Technology (DT) teams on onboarding logistics for large new-hire cohorts, including buddy programs, access provisioning, shared services coordination, and integration planning.
