Post merger integration

Our client, an internationally operating company producing specialty chemicals, is in the process to buy and integrate a substantial business from an international company.

To design and execute the HR-related integration a global HR Director (m/f/d) ad interim is needed.

Main Task:

• Evaluate the entities to be integrated from an HR-related perspective.
  
• Analyse the HR-related synergies and develop a target organisation.
  
• Calculate the costs / investments required to integrate the business unit and implement the target organisation.
  
• Lead the execution of the HR-related transformation.
  
• Set up a new and integrated HR-function.
  
• Communicate in all aspects effectively with all relevant stakeholder (especially labour representatives / unions)
  
• Etc.
  

The main part of the integration in terms of employees will take place in Germany. However, it is a global role which requires an international exposure and a certain travelling activity.
