About The Position

The Enterprise IT Transition Senior Manager establishes and evolves the CIO’s repeatable capability for technology due diligence, acquisition readiness, post-close integration, and transition services. The role is the accountable M&A technology leader from early pipeline engagement through Day 1, stabilization, and the first months of integration, combining strategic capability leadership with hands-on IT program management. The goal is to support faster integrations and divestitures with clearer decision rights, less rework, and more predictable resource demands. When an M&A event is activated, the role serves as IT Integration Program Manager: establishing governance, coordinating CIO resources, managing risks and decisions, and providing executives with insight into progress, effort, dependencies, and completion. The position also leads and develops team members supporting M&A transition planning and execution. U.S. citizenship is required because of the nature of work performed within the facility.
