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.
