Job Description
About this opportunity
The MA&D Analyst plays a critical role in enabling the Mergers, Acquisitions & Divestitures (MA&D) Advisory mandate within the People Services Business Office. This position supports confidential transaction activity through disciplined coordination, rigorous analysis, and structured documentation across the full transaction lifecycle from due diligence through integration or separation.
Working closely with Corporate Development, People Services, Legal, and business stakeholders, the Analyst provides data-driven insights, project coordination, and knowledge management to ensure People Services is transaction-ready at all times. This role requires strong analytical capability, exceptional attention to detail, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to operate effectively in a highly confidential, fast‑paced environment.
What you’ll do
Support confidential due diligence activities by collecting, validating, analyzing, and synthesizing workforce data, organizational structures, policies, and program information to inform risk assessments, forecasting, and transaction decisions.
Develop clear summaries and visuals (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Power BI) that translate complex inputs into concise, decision‑ready materials for senior leaders.
Coordinate cross‑functional information gathering across Employment Legal, Corporate Development, HRBPs, COEs, Corporate Support Functions, and Business Leaders, ensuring accuracy and alignment within strict confidentiality constraints.
Enable disciplined project execution and readiness by managing workspaces (SharePoint/Teams), documentation libraries, templates, trackers, meeting coordination, minutes, and action follow‑ups.
Maintain structured project tracking and reporting mechanisms to ensure visibility of milestones, dependencies, and risks throughout the transaction cycle.
Support scope analysis activities, compiling relevant workforce data and documentation to inform decisions around integration, separation, and transition planning.
Act as a trusted partner within a small, high‑performing team—demonstrating initiative, stepping in as needed to maintain continuity, and operating effectively in an environment of evolving priorities and ambiguity.
