What you'll do
- Own the People workstream of M&A transactions from due diligence to integration, alongside the crew and in close collaboration with the Corporate team, Legal, Finance and the business owners of each deal
- HR due diligence: reviewing headcount, employment contracts, collective agreements, compensation & benefits, liabilities and risks of target companies, and flagging red flags clearly to the deal team
- Transferring employment contracts in France and abroad, and choosing the right path for each deal and country
- Integrating acquired teams: day-1 and first-months plans, harmonising contracts and benefits, communicating with acquired employees, onboarding them into Alan's way of working
- Support the people transition of acquired teams, working with the crew and leads on team set-up, keeping key talents, and supporting every individual situation with care
- Work with external advisors (law firms, HR advisory, relocation and EoR providers): writing clear briefs and challenging their advice
- Opening new countries on the People side: entity vs employer of record, compliant local contracts, benefits and payroll partners
- Handle international relocations and cross-border situations for Alaners moving or working between countries (visas, social security, tax, type of contract)
- Build reusable playbooks (HR due diligence checklist, integration playbook, "country opening – People" checklist) so each new deal is faster than the last
- Take on global and cross-border individual situations (mobility, work from anywhere, sensitive cases)
- Raise the team's expertise: sharing knowledge of employment law and M&A practices with the crew and the wider People team
- Leverage AI and automation to multiply the impact of your work
- Shared People team core missions: People on-call, individual situation management, and HRBP responsibilities (roughly 50% of time)
What we're looking for
- Around 5 years of experience focused on HR M&A and integration topics, for example in a reputable HR advisory firm or in an HR team that focuses on these topics
- Have worked on acquisitions in the Tech industry, not only on very large corporate groups
- Master HR due diligence and the transfer of employment contracts
- Have worked on post-merger integration, including talent density and parting ways, not only on the pre-signing side
- International exposure: have worked on deals or entities outside France
- Fluent in English, written and spoken
- Adaptable and creative: adjust method to each type of company and deal instead of copy-pasting one process
- Very organised: run several confidential workstreams in parallel without dropping balls
- Strong communicator with very different audiences (founders, acquired employees, leads, lawyers), in writing and orally
- Strong technically and able to teach others
- Show judgement and discretion with confidential information and sensitive human situations
Nice to have
- Legal background, ideally in employment law
- Have worked in or with a Tech scale-up that made several acquisitions
- Have opened entities or set-up employers of record in new countries
- Speak another language relevant to expansion (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese; Arabic)
- AI-enthusiastic and actively use tools to multiply impact
