Mergers & Acquisitions Manager

__

As HR Mergers & Acquisitions Manager, you play a pivotal role in ABB’s strategic portfolio evolution. Working closely with Business HR, HR functions, Business M&A, and cross‑functional teams, you drive successful people outcomes across M&A activities in all ABB Business Areas — from pre‑NBIO through post‑close integration. As part of ABB’s global HR M&A team, you contribute to HR M&A strategy, standards and tools; guide both small and large, complex transactions, and ensure ABB navigates talent, culture, cost, and organizational challenges with excellence and speed.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with business HR to steer the HR workstream across global M&A transactions (acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, spin‑offs), providing strategic advice and hands‑on expertise across the M&A lifecycle—from due diligence and negotiations through Day 1 readiness and integration or separation.
  • Advise business HRs about what to expect, the stakeholders, the M&A process and priorities, and play a key role as Manager in making strategic decisions, keeping the best interest of ABB and the acquired / divested unit in mind.
  • Support the creation of workplans, timelines, governance, resource and budget planning, separation and integration strategies, and HR risk and cost assessments including mitigation strategies.
  • Advise on retention, performance, and key talent strategies to protect deal value.
  • Ensure all HR M&A activities adhere to ABB global policies, labour laws, and regulatory requirements to protect ABB's interest.
  • Ensure optimal collaboration across HR, business, cross-functional teams, external advisors, and buyers/sellers, effectively problem-solving HR or cross functional issues, avoiding escalations towards the business.
  • Oversee and contribute to HR specialty areas as required (labour law, rewards, benefits, pensions, GDPR, HRIS, payroll, culture, communications, change management, HR governance, TOM, talent acquisition and people development).
  • Build and scale HR M&A capabilities across the global HR community through targeted training, practical tools, and best‑practice sharing, while continuously improving HR M&A processes to ensure readiness for evolving M&A strategies and HR trends.

Your Background

  • HR generalist with strong, strategic and hands on M&A experience gained as an HRBP, HR M&A specialist, or project leader.
  • Solid understanding of end‑to‑end HR processes and their application in M&A environments.
  • Strong project management capabilities in complex, global settings, balancing structure with flexibility.
  • Proven ability to engage, influence, and communicate effectively with senior and diverse stakeholders in high-stake environments.
  • Business‑driven and pragmatic, with strong business acumen, a strategic and analytical mindset, and a genuine passion for M&A.
  • Ability to navigate complexity and ambiguity, delivering results under uncertainty.
  • Fluent in English, with advanced skills in Excel, PowerPoint, and digital collaboration tools.

Location:

  • The preferred location is flexible in Europe and Eastern time zone of US.
  • The work model for the role is hybrid or remote, requiring flexibility to work across time zones.

Puhtaamman ja älykkäämmän tulevaisuuden rakentamiseen tarvitaan kaikenlaisia mieliä: uteliaita, rohkeita ja luovia. Siksi kaikentyyppiset taustat ja kokemukset ovat meille tervetulleita.
