Job Description

Youve been through it: stacked inboxes, tight timelines, high-stakes exits. You didnt flinch. You didnt freeze. You handled it. If youre done with HR roles that focus on "culture work" while others scramble to deliver the hard stuff, this ones built for you.

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

We wont sugarcoat it -- layoffs are hard. Compassion matters. But it cant override execution. If youre the kind of leader who can be respectful without getting rattled, this is your lane. Youll have the support of experienced M&A leaders, not as crutches, but as sparring partners to sharpen your craft. Youll 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

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Delegating tough conversations—youll 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—youre expected to learn and lead
  • Crumbling under pressure—this role requires calm, repeatable execution at pace

VP Human Resources & M&A Key Responsibilities

Deliver flawless, compliant, high-volume offboarding and M&A HR transitions—on time, across borders, and without legal surprises.

Basic Requirements

  • 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

Nice-to-have Requirements

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