You've been through it: stacked inboxes, tight timelines, high-stakes exits. You didn't flinch. You didn't freeze. You handled it. If you're done with HR roles that focus on "culture work" while others scramble to deliver the hard stuff, this one's built for you.

This role puts you at the helm of global offboarding and post-M&A HR execution. You'll manage complex transitions involving hundreds of employees per quarter. You'll coordinate across Legal, Finance, IT, and HR, ensuring every detail is compliant, on time, and under control. Not through emotion. Through rigor.

We won't sugarcoat it -- layoffs are hard. Compassion matters. But it can't override execution. If you're the kind of leader who can be respectful without getting rattled, this is your lane. You'll have the support of experienced M&A leaders, not as crutches, but as sparring partners to sharpen your craft. You'll grow, own real outcomes, and develop mastery. If that sounds like a career, not just a job, apply today.

What You Will Be Doing

• Leading global execution of RIFs and M&A HR transitions across 2+ jurisdictions (US, UK, EU, India, etc.)
• Building execution timelines, tracking dependencies, and coordinating stakeholders
• Translating legal guidance into clear employee communications and documentation
• Handling offboarding logistics with zero errors—final pay, access, benefits, compliance
• Partnering with Legal for edge cases, while developing your own legal fluency
  
  

• Delegating tough conversations—you'll lead them with professionalism and care
• Getting bogged down in HR theory, culture decks, or engagement surveys
• Operating in a silo—this role depends on proactive coordination across teams
• Waiting on Legal to solve every problem—you're expected to learn and lead
• Crumbling under pressure—this role requires calm, repeatable execution at pace
  
  

• 8–12 years of HR experience, with 2+ years in a Director or VP role
• Proven track record leading both RIFs and post-M&A HR transitions
• Familiarity with employment law and offboarding in at least two jurisdictions (US, EU, UK, India, etc.)
• Strong written communication skills to translate legal into HR action
• Cross-functional coordination experience (HRIS, payroll, legal, IT)
• SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or equivalent certification
  
  

• GPHR, CIPD Level 7, or other global HR certification strongly preferred
• HR experience in a private equity or high-velocity M&A environment
