As Senior Manager, Integration, you will lead complex integrations across the Group, partnering with senior business executives, functional leaders and acquired-company partners to deliver successful outcomes across LSEG’s strategic transactions.

We work across the full integration lifecycle, from defining the integration strategy and target operating model through to execution and value realisation. This includes bringing teams together around priorities, key decisions and managing dependencies, to ensure the intended commercial, operational and strategic objectives are achieved.

The role also provides exposure to our wider Corporate Development work, including assessing potential M&A opportunities and supporting transaction execution.
