Human Ressources Expert - M&A and International Expansion

Your missions

On top of the core missions shared across the People team, you will work on a very diverse range of high-impact topics:

You will own to 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.

Depending on the nature of the deal, you will own

• 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;

• You will 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;

• Working with external advisors (law firms, HR advisory, relocation and EoR providers): writing clear briefs and challenging their advice.

You may be a great fit for this role if

• You have 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.

• You have worked on acquisitions in the Tech industry, not only on very large corporate groups, and you know the method is not the same.

• You master HR due diligence and the transfer of employment contracts.

• You have worked on post-merger integration, including talent density and parting ways, not only on the pre-signing side.

• You have international exposure: you have worked on deals or entities outside France.

• You are fluent in English, written and spoken (all of our internal processes, documentation and communications are in English).

• You are adaptable and creative: you adjust your method to each type of company and deal instead of copy-pasting one process.

• You are very organised: you run several confidential workstreams in parallel without dropping balls.

• You are a strong communicator, with very different audiences (founders, acquired employees, leads, lawyers), in writing and orally.

• You are strong technically and can teach us things.

• You show judgement and discretion with confidential information and sensitive human situations.

Nice-to-have

We are not looking for all of the below. Any one of these can be a strong signal.

• You have a legal background, ideally in employment law.

• You have worked in or with a Tech scale-up that made several acquisitions.

• You have opened entities or set-up employers of record in new countries.

• You speak another language relevant to our expansion (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese; Arabic).

• You are AI-enthusiastic and actively use tools to multiply your impact.
