• You'll create detailed roadmaps for the tactical integration steps needed to achieve strategic goals
• You'll collaborate with several teams (Steering Committee, Finance, Legal, People, IT, Technology and Operations) to grasp deal-specific requirements and limitations

• You'll identify areas of entanglements and transition services needed
