Reporting directly to the Vice President of M&A, the Analyst M&A will provide leadership and support on various investment and growth initiatives consistent with Cemex’s overall business and growth strategy in the US. The Manager will be a key member of the company’s M&A department in the US and support the team in managing complex acquisitions and strategic corporate development initiatives.
