- Rethink how work gets done, using AI and automation to simplify or replace manual processes.
- Turn complex problems into clear priorities, decisions and action.
- Lead People integration across acquisitions, from due diligence and integration planning through post-close execution.
- Design organisations, roles and operating models as Nscale grows.
- Lead workforce planning for acquisitions and major organisational change.
- Work across People, Finance, Legal and the business to deliver integrations and transformation.
- Take on high-priority projects that cut across teams and functions.
- Work directly with senior leaders to define problems, evaluate options and turn decisions into action.
- Bring together the right teams and expertise to deliver.
- Move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
About you
You’ll bring:
- Significant experience leading company-wide transformation end-to-end, from strategy through implementation and adoption.
- A track record of building and shipping AI-enabled products, automations or workflows for employees, managers or internal teams.
- Hands-on M&A and integration experience, from due diligence through post-close execution.
- Experience designing and implementing organisation structures and operating models through significant growth or change.
