You will join the 13-person People team as the owner of the M&A and International Expansion workstream. This is a high-impact generalist role that combines core People team responsibilities (50% of time: on-call support, individual situation management, HRBP duties) with specialized expertise in M&A and expansion.

- Lead acquired team integration: design day-1 and first-month plans, harmonize contracts and benefits, communicate with acquired employees, onboard them into Alan's culture
- Support people transitions for acquired teams, working with crew and leads on team structure, talent retention, and individual care
- Manage relationships with external advisors (law firms, HR advisory, relocation, EoR providers): write clear briefs and challenge advice

- Handle international relocations and cross-border situations (visas, social security, tax, contract types)
- Build reusable playbooks (HR due diligence checklist, integration playbook, country-opening checklist) to accelerate future deals
- Manage global and cross-border individual situations (mobility, work-from-anywhere, sensitive cases)
- Share employment law and M&A expertise across the People team
- Leverage AI and automation to multiply impact
First 2.5 months: become autonomous on day-to-day requests, map current M&A and country-opening practices, contribute to at least one live deal or country opening, contribute to reusable playbooks, shadow individual situation management.
First 5 months: own the People workstream of a deal end-to-end, run or co-run talent density assessments and parting-ways cases, handle cross-border situations independently, ensure playbooks are used by crew and Legal/Finance, become the go-to expert.
Requirements:
- ~5 years of experience focused on HR M&A and integration (e.g., HR advisory firm or HR team specializing in these topics)
- Experience with acquisitions in the Tech industry (not just large corporate groups; understand that methods differ by company size)
- Mastery of HR due diligence and employment contract transfers
