Role Description

Join Veralto’s M&A journey as a Human Resources M&A Specialist, where you’ll have a front-row seat to shaping how our company grows and evolves. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Talent & Org Strategy, you’ll partner closely with Corporate Development and senior HR leadership to support due diligence and drive early integration planning across acquisitions, minority investments, and/or divestitures.

What makes this opportunity unique is the breadth of impact—you won’t just support transactions; you’ll help build and refine the HR M&A playbook at Veralto. Acting as the central HR point of contact, you’ll collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, LER, Communications, and business leaders to ensure seamless, high-quality execution across the entire deal lifecycle.

This position is part of the Veralto Talent COE (Center of Excellence) team and will be Remote in the US with 15-30% expected travel.

In this role, a typical day will look like:

• Lead end-to-end HR M&A planning and execution—from due diligence through integration—leveraging research, data insights, and collaboration with external vendors.
• Design and continuously improve HR M&A standard work, incorporating external best practices and aligning with Veralto Enterprise System (VES) principles and Corporate Development guidance.
• Conduct and lead critical data-driven analyses during diligence to inform deal strategy, including:
  • Identifying cost drivers and synergy opportunities that impact the deal’s financial model.
  • Assessing employee equity structures and deal proceeds (e.g., equity waterfall) to evaluate retention risks and inform mitigation strategies.
  • Supporting headcount planning, including growth projections and synergy targets.
  • Performing additional quantitative analyses to support HR-related deal decisions.
• Partner closely with Total Rewards to assess, quantify, and mitigate compensation and benefits risks across acquisitions and divestitures, while contributing to effective transition strategies aligned with Veralto standards.
• Ensure all material HR-related risks, costs, and synergies are captured and documented, both within HR M&A standard work and formal due diligence reports, to support accurate inclusion in ROIC and financial models.
• Collaborate with Labor & Employment (L&E) to identify key employment risks, align on mitigation strategies, and ensure timely development and delivery of employee agreements and retention programs.
• Support deal execution through legal partnership, working with Corporate Development and L&E to review purchase agreements, disclosure schedules, and other transaction documents for HR-related risks and required edits.
• Partner with Business HR and Acquisition HR to develop and review communication strategies and materials (e.g., employee FAQs, town halls) for signing and closing, ensuring strong cultural readiness and integration planning for acquired or divested organizations.
• Support HR integration planning and execution, partnering with Business HR Integration Leads and Acquisition HR to apply standard tools and processes, while ensuring effective handoffs to Corporate HR functions (e.g., Benefits, Compensation/Equity, HR Operations).

Qualifications

• 3-5 years’ experience in HR mergers and acquisitions, including HR due diligence and integration planning for both acquisitions and divestitures.
• Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, HR or a related field.
• Experience in leading cross-functional HR analyses such as compensation modeling, headcount planning, and financial risk quantification in M&A or comparable contexts.
• Experience partnering with cross-functional stakeholders — including Corporate Development, Legal, Finance, and Communications — to align on deal-related HR workstreams.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams in a confidential, time-sensitive environment with strong attention to detail.
• Strong analytical skills with demonstrated ability to synthesize complex workforce and financial data and present findings clearly to senior stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with equity waterfall analysis, deal proceeds modeling, or compensation due diligence in M&A transactions.
• Familiarity with ROIC modeling and financial deal structures as they relate to HR cost inputs.
• Background in Total Rewards, Labor & Employment, or HR Business Partnering in a corporate or multi-business unit environment.
• Experience supporting HR integration in a publicly traded, multi-entity organization.

Benefits

• A flexible, remote-friendly work environment.
• Paid holidays and a permissive paid time off policy emphasizing flexibility and trust.
• Ongoing investment in your career through dedicated training, on-the-job development, and coaching.
• Total rewards that support your success at work and beyond, including comprehensive health benefits, a 401(k) savings plan with employer match, and associate wellbeing programming with rewards.
