About the Role

We are passionate about creating value through successful integrations and work closely with partners across Finance, Technology, Operations, Legal, People and Commercial teams to ensure integrations are delivered effectively, risks are managed and opportunities are captured. You'll also help us continuously improve our integration approach through the development of tools, playbooks and best practices. In addition to integration work, you'll have opportunities to contribute to broader Corporate Development activities, including assessing potential acquisition opportunities, supporting transaction evaluation and helping us understand how strategic investments can create long-term value.
