Summary

M&A Project Manager//Contract/30326
Atlanta, GA
Once established on the project they can work out a hybrid schedule.
6 -12 months

My client is seeking a Project Manager to support Technology Governance Integration on M&A technology transformation engagements. This role sits at the center of post-signing/post-close technology integration activity, with direct responsibility for managing Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) - tracking the services, milestones, costs, and exit criteria that govern how the buyer and seller (or divested entity) operate together during the transition period.
This is a detail-driven, ownership-heavy role. You will be the person who knows the exact status of every TSA line item, who is not afraid to dig into a services schedule or an exit-readiness checklist personally, and who keeps technology governance running cleanly even as deal timelines shift. You will bring structure to a fast-moving, ambiguous environment and be a trusted point of contact for both internal stakeholders and counterparts at the counterparty organization.
Key Responsibilities
  • Own day-to-day management of Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) related to technology: track in-scope services, exit criteria, costs, service levels, and target exit/termination dates across all workstreams.
  • Stand up and run technology governance forums for the integration - steering committees, TSA status reviews, and cross-functional working sessions - including agendas, minutes, decisions, and action tracking.
  • Serve as the primary point of coordination between internal technology teams, deal/integration management office (IMO) leadership, and counterparty (buyer/seller/divested entity) stakeholders on TSA-related matters.
  • Build and maintain detailed TSA trackers, exit readiness plans, and dependency maps; proactively identify services at risk of missing exit dates and escalate early.
  • Coordinate with workstream leads (infrastructure, applications, security, data, network) to validate TSA service definitions, confirm exit criteria are being met, and de-risk cutover activities.
  • Manage change requests and amendments to TSA scope, cost, or timeline, maintaining a clear audit trail and ensuring appropriate approvals are obtained.
  • Track and reconcile TSA-related costs and invoicing against agreed service schedules; flag discrepancies to finance and deal leadership.
  • Develop and maintain integrated program plans, RAID logs, and status reporting that roll up TSA and broader technology integration progress for executive and steering committee audiences.
  • Get into the details when needed - reviewing a services schedule line by line, chasing down a missing exit artifact, or personally verifying a cutover step - rather than relying solely on workstream leads to self-report status.
  • Support broader technology governance integration activities beyond TSAs, including Day 1 readiness, technology separation/integration planning, and post-close synergy tracking, as needed.
Required Qualifications & Experience
  • Project management or program management experience, with direct experience on M&A technology integration, separation, or carve-out engagements.
  • Hands-on experience managing or closely supporting Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) - understanding service schedules, exit criteria, cost structures, and governance obligations.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex, ambiguous workstreams and drive them to resolution with minimal oversight.
  • Highly organized, with rigorous attention to detail and comfort managing a high volume of concurrent trackers, deadlines, and stakeholders.
  • Willingness and ability to get into the weeds - reviewing granular documentation, service schedules, or technical detail personally when the situation calls for it.
  • Strong working knowledge of technology transformation delivery (infrastructure, applications, data, security, or network integration) sufficient to engage credibly with technical workstream leads.
  • Experience standing up and facilitating program governance - steering committees, status reviews, decision and escalation processes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing materials for executive and deal-leadership audiences.
  • Proficiency with project/program management and reporting tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Excel, PowerPoint).
  • Bachelor's degree in business, information systems, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior experience in a management consulting, corporate development, or M&A integration management office (IMO) environment.
  • PMP, PgMP, or PRINCE2 certification.
  • Experience with divestitures or carve-outs in addition to acquisitions (i.e., managing TSAs from both the buy-side and sell-side perspective).
  • Familiarity with technology due diligence and Day 1 / Day 100 planning in an M&A context.
  • Exposure to legal and finance stakeholders in the context of TSA contract terms, cost true-ups, or dispute resolution.
Core Competencies
  • Ownership mentality - treats TSA and governance outcomes as personally accountable, not just tracked and reported.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the discipline to keep dozens of moving parts current and accurate.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and under deal-driven time pressure, without losing rigor.
  • Direct, clear communicator who can hold both internal and counterparty stakeholders accountable to commitments.
  • Pragmatic problem-solver who knows when to escalate versus resolve independently.
What We Offer
  • The opportunity to work at the center of high-profile M&A technology integration engagements for [industry/sector] clients.
  • A defined career path within our M&A / Technology Transformation practice, with formal mentorship and training.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package, including [health/retirement/professional development details].
  • A collaborative, high-performing team culture that invests in developing well-rounded consultants.
