Altum Consulting are recruiting for an experienced M&A Project Manager to join a fast-growing global Technology business based in London.
The organisation is going through a significant period of growth and transformation and is looking for an experienced Project Manager to support the integration of acquired businesses into the wider organisation.
This is a delivery-focused role rather than a corporate development or transaction advisory position. You will take ownership of integration activity across multiple workstreams, working with senior stakeholders across the business to ensure key milestones, dependencies and deliverables remain on track.
Role:
- Lead and coordinate M&A integration projects from planning through to delivery
- Develop and maintain detailed integration plans, timelines, milestones and deliverables
- Coordinate multiple functional workstreams and ensure dependencies, risks and actions are effectively managed
- Own project governance and maintain clear oversight of integration progress
- Work closely with stakeholders across Finance, HR, IT, Legal, Operations and other corporate functions
- Ensure deliverables are clearly defined, assigned and completed against agreed timelines
- Drive actions and proactively resolve risks, issues and blockers
- Provide clear updates to senior leadership on progress, risks and areas requiring decisions
- Support the integration of acquired businesses into existing systems, processes and operating models
- Maintain a strong focus on delivery, accountability and execution throughout the integration lifecycle
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
