## About the Role

In order to be successful in this role, you must bring hands-on M&A experience, with a proven track record of leading post-acquisition integrations.

We're looking for someone who can act as the conductor of the overall integration, bringing together multiple workstreams, stakeholders and priorities. You'll combine strong project management expertise with a commercial and financial mindset, helping to deliver efficiencies and achieve post-deal objectives.

## Description

In this role, you will be responsible for planning and delivering the effective integration of acquired businesses, teams, systems and processes into the wider group. You will ensure integrations are delivered through strong programme and project management disciplines, maintaining business continuity, realising value, and aligning with the group's operating model, culture and governance requirements.

You will combine strategic oversight with hands-on programme delivery, bringing structure, pace and assurance to complex, multi-workstream integrations.

Some of your key responsibilities include: -

 * Lead end-to-end integration programmes from deal close through to business-as-usual, applying structured programme and project management methodologies.
 * Define the integration roadmap, programme governance, workstream structure, milestones and dependencies.
 * Maintain clear critical paths, managing risks, issues, assumptions and decisions through formal controls.
 * Ensure effective transition of accountabilities to functional owners once integration activity is complete.
 * Establish and manage programme plans, RAID logs, cost trackers and benefit realisation plans.

 * Coordinate multiple interdependent projects across functions such as HR, Finance, IT, Legal and Operations.
 * Monitor delivery against scope, time, cost and quality, escalating deviations where required.
 * Drive disciplined reporting and decision-making through agreed governance forums.
 * Act as the central point of coordination between corporate functions, acquired businesses and senior sponsors.
 * Produce concise, senior-level reporting on progress, risks, costs and delivery confidence.
 * Work in partnership with HR to plan and deliver people-related integration projects, including TUPE, organisational design, leadership alignment and communications.
 * Apply change and stakeholder management techniques to support adoption and minimise disruption.
 * Track integration costs, synergies and benefits against agreed business cases.

You'll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That's why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.
