Role Overview

As a Deal Execution Lead at Larkhill, you’ll step directly into live carve-outs and lead the work.

You’ll coordinate across functions, run governance cadence, manage risk, and hold delivery steady — often in high-pressure, high-visibility situations. Sponsors trust us to keep execution aligned. That trust will sit with you.

What You’ll Own

Build and sequence execution plans across workstreams

Maintain alignment across legal, IT, HR, finance, and vendors

Track milestones and keep sponsor visibility clean

Run structured governance cadence (e.g. WG / ExCo / SteerCo)

Surface and resolve risk early — before it slows delivery

Support clean TSA exits and internal transition handoffs

What We Expect

Experience leading carve-outs, integrations, or complex transitions

Clarity in ambiguity, calm under pressure

Strong operational judgment and stakeholder coordination

Precision in communication — upward, sideways, and down

Discipline and drive — no one needs to ask you twice

What You’ll Work With

Structured Playbooks — reusable methods for TSA, IT, Day 1, and vendor disentanglement

Execution Platform — live risk surfacing, sponsor reporting, and milestone tracking

Aligned Team — other operators who move quickly, think clearly, and don’t need supervision
